There are some things in Lia’s life that she finds so irritating that
they’re actually funny – like “honor roll” bumper stickers, doctor’s office
waiting rooms, and the font “Curlz MT.” And then there are other things that
make her really happy – like frozen meals from her mom, unique kitchen gadgets,
and a website that keeps track of which TV episodes she’s watched. Sometimes
funny, sometimes sentimental, Lia uses her love of writing to attempt to make a
tiny difference in the world – or at least make you chuckle.
Lia works
as the Membership and Communications Director at Temple Jeremiah in Northfield,
Ill. On the weekends, she focuses her energy as a co-founder and committee
member of Windy City Minyan, an independent minyan for 20- and 30-somethings in
the Lakeview area. She also tutors bar/bat mitzvah students.
Lia grew up
in Lincolnwood, Ill., graduated from Northwestern University with a major in
Journalism and a minor in Hebrew Studies, and graduated from Spertus Institute
for Jewish Learning and Leadership with a Masters in Jewish Professional
Studies.
In her free time (a rare, lovely gift), Lia maintains a weekly
blog at lialehrer.com. She likes to bake
(ask her for her chocolate peanut butter oreo mousse cake recipe), listen to
audio books while driving to work, take pictures, do touristy activities in her
beloved city of Chicago, and spend time with family and friends.
