She has a BA in Political Science from Northwestern, and J.D. from DePaul University College of Law. Rebecca is originally from Sweden and grew up in Hinsdale. Currently she lives in Lincoln Park with her husband Jason. They belong to Anshe Emet. Rebecca joined the Associate Board because she has been fortunate to have a great relationship with her four grandparents. One of her grandmothers lives in a Jewish home for the elderly in Stockholm. Through that experience, Rebecca learned the importance of having strong communal supports to help seniors. In the summer of 2010, she was a Lewis Summer Intern in CJE’s Development Department where she learned firsthand the importance of fundraising to sustain CJE’s 35+ programs and services. Rebecca is a member of JUF’s Young Lawyers’ Division. She also volunteers with JUF’s YLD. In her free time, she plays golf, reads, and spends time with her family.
