Neshama Cenker
Neshama grew up in Baltimore and has lived across the street from SOTC forever. She was once a kid in the SOTC youth groups, and then a group leader, and now for the last several years the Youth Director. Neshama also works as a teacher in the public school system. She recently got married to Baruch Cenker and together they are “new members.” Baruch grew up in Atlanta, GA but has been living in Baltimore for the last few years. He works as the maintenance manager at 7 Mile Market, so many people may recognize him. They are very excited to be a part of SOTC together as a newly married couple!

The son of parents who made aliyah from Passaic, New Jersey in the 1970s, Moshe (Didi) brings with him a strong connection to both Israeli and American communities.
