2023 Campaign Leadership

Michelle and Steve Wions joined the BT family in 2014 when their daughter, Samantha began high school. They were embraced by a warm, loving, caring, and highly academic community at BT. Both daughters, Samantha (2018) and Emma (2020) graduated and continued to The University of Maryland. Both Michelle and Steve have been active members on several boards at BT and Co-Chaired Spotlight 2019. 

 

They are truly honored to Chair Beth Tfiloh’s Annual Campaign 2022-2023. Michelle and Steve want to see the Shul and School continue to grow and prosper. The Beth Tfiloh community is deep rooted in sharing a strong connection to Israel and serves Baltimore truly as “a light unto others.” 

Lee Sheller recently retired as a lawyer after practicing law for 43 years. As a past Chair of the Board of the Congregation, he has also served on the Annual Campaign cabinet for the past ten years. Mr. Sheller shares that, “I initially joined the Annual Campaign cabinet because, from my perspective as a Congregation leader, it was clear how important a successful Annual Campaign is to the Congregation and the School. The Annual Campaign provides funds that are critical to the ability of the Congregation and School to create the excellent shul and school community that we all appreciate.” 

 

Mr. Sheller and his wife, Tina, have two children who benefitted from a Beth TFiloh education from Kindergarten through Grade 12. They proudly feel that “Our children are caring, responsible, mature, and resilient people who love Judaism and Israel, to a large part, because of the values that they learned going to the School from K-12.” They now have a granddaughter who is in the BT PreSchool and feel strongly that they, “want to make sure that the congregation and school can continue to provide great services to our community. Our community is a warm and giving community that understands the importance of the Annual Campaign and I am happy to play the role of vice-chair of this year’s Annual Campaign.”
