Meet Our June Family of the Month: Catherine and Yves Lewi
Catherine and Yves Lewi have been part of Beth Sholom since 2014. Catherine is a Marketing consultant, working with startups helping them grow their business. Yves is a recent retiree from the banking industry, specializing in wealth management. Their son Raphaël (29) lives in Portland OR and works as a French Teacher. Their daughter Anna is 27 and lives in Paris where she works as a psychologist and is finishing her PhD.
The Lewis love being part of a warm, welcoming Jewish community and appreciate the traditional services. “CBS gives us meaningful opportunities to celebrate Jewish holidays and gather for minyans on yahrzeits”.
Their favorite Beth Sholom event is attending Shabbat services and volunteering with the Chicken Soupers. They also love connecting with others through the HaMerkaz Chavurah.
Pesach is especially meaningful to the Lewi family and they usually celebrate with friends by having a "French Seder."
When asked what is your Jewish ‘Superpower’, they responded: Our deep connection to Israel and our ongoing commitment to standing up against antisemitism.
Catherine and Yves’ hopes at Beth Sholom are to continue being actively involved in building the CBS community and getting to know more members personally.
A Fun Family Fact: they share the same last name—Lewi (Yves’s) and Levy (Catherine’s maiden name)!
