Jeff and Vivian (z”l) moved from New York to Redmond in 2012 to be closer to their son and his family. They all became Kol Ami members soon thereafter and both grandsons became Bar Mitzvah at Kol Ami. Jeff is happily retired from a career in teaching and running a student travel business. This has allowed him to pursue his goal of studying Yiddish. He was instrumental in getting a Yiddish class in Seattle started in 2013, which grew into a series of classes over the years. He still attends two classes a week. Jeff became active at Kol Ami as a member of the Life and Legacy Team. In addition to his CKA Board membership, Jeff volunteers at the Holocaust Center for Humanity in Seattle and is the Secretary of the Mt. Rainier Chapter of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors. Jeff enjoys hiking, pickleball, good food, and wordplay of all sorts.

Danielle J. Price has worked in publishing and Jewish education for more than 20 years. She grew up in a rabbinical family in small congregations in the South. Although Danielle’s focus is primarily on the youth, she understands the importance of seeking out and creating opportunities to bring people together across generational lines. She has a lot of Jewish "aunts" and "uncles" (i.e., congregants) who played important roles in the formation of her Jewish identity. In fact, her comfort foods are foods that were served at the Shabbat onegs in these communities, which gives you an idea of how much of an impact these amazing people had on her life. Danielle wants everyone to have a strong connection to the Kol Ami community, and she wants everyone to know that wherever their journey in life might take them, they will always have a community that supports them and is here and welcoming for them whenever needed. Danielle is excited to help strengthen the Kol Ami community, foster intergenerational connections, and create long-lasting memories.
