Steven Greenberg Steps Down as Head of the Vilna Shul

Steven Greenberg announced that he will be stepping down in June as executive director at the Vilna Shul after seven years in the post. 

The Vilna, Boston's Center for Jewish Culture, will be honoring Greenberg’s work with a celebratory tribute on June 13 at 6:30pm at the 18 Phillips St. synagogue. Rabbi and author Harold Kushner will be a featured guest speaker. The celebration will be chaired by Board of Trustees member Larry Schwartz and his wife, Gloria.

"Greenberg was instrumental in promoting the Vilna to the public as both a valued historic site and a cultural resource. Building lasting relationships throughout the community, including collaborations with countless synagogues, universities and cultural organizations, Greenberg led the way in weaving Boston’s rich Jewish history into the city’s greater historic narrative," Jessica Antoline, the program manager at the Vilna Shul, said in a press release.

As co-chair of the Museums of Boston and a leader of the new Doors to History project, Greenberg helped secure the Vilna's place as a cultural resource and spiritual home for visitors from greater Boston and around the world. 

Antoline will oversee the Vilna through the interim period as Greenberg leaves his position in June.
