Our Staff
Marian Gordon
Executive Director
When Marian moved to St. Louis in 2007, she was asked to "help out in the office at Traditional for a couple of months." A couple of months and 16 years later, she is the Executive Director and chief cheerleader for the congregation, and puts to good use the skills from her previous careers in magazine publishing, staff development training and real estate sales. Marian has served on the Board of JPro St. Louis, an organization dedicated to supporting those who work in the St. Louis Jewish community. She and her husband, Rabbi Seth Gordon, have five wonderful children, their spouses, and the 11 most adorable grandchildren in the world.
