Donna began practicing Trusts and Estates law at the firm Rosenfeld, Meyer & Susman in Beverly Hills and, a few years later, took an extended hiatus from the law to be at home to raise her two sons. She resumed her law practice in 2007, and currently works at the firm of Feinberg Mindel Brandt & Klein in West Los Angeles.

Donna is an active member of University Synagogue, where she is a past President of the Congregation.  Donna grew up in the synagogue – where her formal Jewish education began.  It is there, with the inspiration and encouragement of her teachers, that her passion for Jewish Studies was first sparked.  Donna’s love for Jewish Studies only grew over the years, and it ultimately led her to AJRCA.  Donna currently serves as the Co-Chair of the Adult Education Committee at University Synagogue.
