Emily Bromberg & Stephen Silverman
Gala Honorees
Emily Bromberg and Stephen Silverman grew up and raised their children, Danielle, 27, and Sam, 24, in New Rochelle. They were married in 1991 by Beth El’s Rabbi Melvin Sirner and Cantor Laurence Avery.
Emily earned her BA at Cornell University, and her MPA at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs and Stephen earned his BA at Cornell University and his JD at Northwestern University School of Law.
When Emily and Stephen returned to New Rochelle after years in Washington, where Emily served as Deputy Assistant to the President for Inter-governmental Affairs and Stephen served as Deputy Assistant to the President for Cabinet Affairs, they signed Danielle and Sam up for Beth El Day Camp. Both children attended Beth El Hebrew School and became B’nai Mitzvot at the Shul.
Stephen traveled with Rabbi Schuck and congregants on Encounter in Israel, which provided new perspective and participated in Journey, through which he co-led the creation of The Den, Rise and Sing with Cantor Gaby, and the Beth El Prayer Team.
Emily served as SVP and Chief of Staff at the ADL from 2017 until 2021, managing numerous challenging moments during a time of rising antisemitism worldwide, as an advisor to Senator Hillary Clinton in her winning campaign for Senate in 2000, Chief of Staff to Jane and Brian Williams, and as Director of Hillary Clinton’s Surrogate Operations for the 2016 Presidential campaign. She is currently Managing Partner at Ichor Strategies, a consultancy working at the intersection of urban communities and corporations to build transformative partnerships.
Stephen led communications for Citi’s consumer businesses globally, served at the Federal Reserve Bank and as chief speech writer to Governor Andrew Cuomo. He is President and CEO of Endurance Strategic Communications, LLC, which advises companies, non-profits and executives on advocacy, policy, and crisis communications strategy.
Stephen and Emily are deeply committed to the vision of Rabbi Schuck and appreciate all his efforts as well as those of the other clergy and staff. They are thrilled to be honored with Stephen’s parents Jay and Louise Silverman and Carrie Fox and David Shechter.
