Aish Campus DC

Dana Sicherman Program Director
Aish on Campus Washington DC

Dana was born in the mean streets of Rockland County (a fancy way of saying Monsey), New York on October twenty-second. Her birth radically changed the neighborhood … for the better. Stores opened, children danced through the streets, and mothers baked pies. Men played chess in the park, and the Jews of the area finally agreed on something.

Dana's journey from Monsey took her to American University, where she majored in International Relations and spent a semester abroad in Israel at Hebrew University. Over a plate of delicious chocolate chip cookies Dana met her husband, Max Sicherman. They were married amidst great fanfare not too long after in the very town that Dana had helped to turn around. In November of 2009 their family doubled with the adorable additions of twins boys! The Sichermans now live in Silver Spring, MD. and Dana is currently Program Director for AishCampus DC. Dana would love to meet you! Please email her at dana@aishcampusdc.com.

Ezra Kalman and Gavriel Dovid

Ezra Kalman, (aka Starsky) and Gavriel Dovid (aka Hutch) made their grand entrance into this world on November 23rd 2009--with a combined weight that would give all those Thanksgiving turkeys a run for their money. While currently their favorite activities may appear to be limited to eating, napping, and various entertaining reflexes, don't be fooled; these little men know whats going on. Please visit the Sicherman home anytime to play, hold, make silly faces at, or play their favorite game--'find the pacifier'.

Dani Rovinsk
Fellowship Coordinator

Danielle Blair Kippur Rovinsky (aka Dani) was born in a town you've
never heard of called Pueblo, CO. From the time she could walk she
spent every waking moment on horse back. Horses were her life and
although she didn't aspire to being a professional cowgirl she went to
William Woods University, Fulton, MO the top equestrian school in the
nation. After horsin around she decided to get with it and follow her
heart to Jerusalem.

Living there for two years she was exposed to Jews of all shapes and colors. At the end of her second year of learning in seminary she met the NJB (nice jewish boy) of her dreams in a shady back alley of Jerusalem. It was love. After dating Jeremy an AU graduate she decided to follow him all the way back to America where
they currently live in Silver Spring, MD and he is attending GW law school.

Oren Rabinowitz- Student Campus Coordinator

Twas December 25th when Oren began his mission. He took a 19 year detour through Brooklyn, NY, Cherry Hill, NJ, Israel, Silver Spring, MD, which finally brought him to American University to major in International Studies. Before coming to American, Oren spent a year in Israel where he learned about Torah, Israel, and where to find the cheapest pizza in Jerusalem. Oren realized two things when he came to American: that there are many different combinations of buses to go to and from school and that he wanted to get more involved with the Jewish life on campus. With one phone call, he got connected with Aish Campus DC, and the rest is history...
