Deborah and her husband moved to Park Slope in February 2021 and, after living in Manhattan and Fort Greene, she says they have “found the perfect neighborhood fit.” She is a lawyer who recently retired as the Executive Director of the NYC Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes and has significant non-profit leadership experience at the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, San Franciscans for Good Government, and elsewhere. Having used her advocacy skills to oppose the creation of a high-rise development that would adversely impact a community garden when she lived in Fort Greene, Deborah is now eager to “serve and advocate for the interests of the Park Slope community.”
