Sharon Israel Moskovitz was born in Ramat Gan, Israel, and spent her early years traveling the world before her family settled in Miami. From a young age, she was actively involved in her youth group and spent many summers in Israel, cultivating a deep connection to her heritage. While studying at the University of Central Florida, Sharon played a pivotal role in developing active Hillel programs on campus, further strengthening her passion for Jewish community engagement.
Sharon began her career at Temple Judea in 2006, working in the Margaux Early Childhood Preschool. She quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the Youth Director in 2007, Temple Program Coordinator in 2013, and Director of Engagement and Outreach in 2015. In 2019, she was appointed Associate Executive Director, and in 2020, she proudly stepped into her current role as Executive Director. With over 14 years of dedication to Temple Judea, Sharon continues to lead with a commitment to fostering a meaningful and vibrant Jewish experience for the congregation.
As Executive Director, Sharon serves as the chief administrative officer, overseeing daily operations, financial management, staff supervision, and strategic planning to ensure the smooth functioning of temple programs, services, and facilities. She works closely with clergy, staff, and lay leadership to foster a culture of collaboration, professionalism, and inclusivity. Additionally, she is dedicated to membership engagement, community partnerships, and program development, ensuring that Temple Judea remains a welcoming and dynamic hub for Jewish life.
Beyond her professional role, Sharon brings a deep love for Israel and Jewish traditions, striving to create an environment where families can connect, learn, and celebrate. A self-proclaimed connoisseur of Israeli cuisine, she is always on the lookout for the best shawarma and hummus. When she’s not working, traveling, or indulging in delicious food, you can find her on her paddleboard or cheering for the Miami Heat.
Sharon is also a devoted mother to her three children—Alex and Max, born in 2013, and Stella Jordan, born in 2017—who inspire her every day to build a strong and vibrant Jewish community.
