Meet Our Mahj & More Co-Chairs
Lisa (Coe) Altow, Jane (Israel) Rosenstein, Melissa Mosler Matterazzo & Marilyn Corets
Mahj & More is brought to life through the creativity, dedication, and enthusiasm of our wonderful co-chairs!
Lisa, Jane, Melissa and Marilyn are all Schechter alumni who share a passion for bringing people together through Mah Jongg, friendship, and the magic of camp.
Together, they’re helping create a weekend where experienced players, beginners, and nonplayers alike can feel welcome, have fun, and build meaningful connections.
We’re grateful for their leadership and commitment to making Mahj & More a special Camp Solomon Schechter tradition.
