Description

Name: Rabbi Rachel Esserman Positions: Executive Editor, Book Reviewer E-mail: rachel@thereportergroup.org Rabbi Rachel Esserman is the executive editor and book reviewer for The Reporter Group. She also serves as the Jewish chaplain for Broome Development Disabilities Service Office. Her work has been published in "The Women's Torah Commentary" and "The Women's Haftarah Commentary" (both by Jewish Lights Publishing). She has also had a book of poetry, "I Stand By the River," published by Keshet Press of Temple Concord. A Reconstructionist rabbi whose first love is teaching, she sees her position on the paper as an opportunity to educate the public about Judaism. Name: Diana Sochor Position: Layout Editor E-mail: diana@thereportergroup.org Diana started at The Reporter in May 1996 as the editorial assistant. Prior to that she worked at The Walton Reporter as its proofreader and production manager. She was promoted to assistant editor in June 1999 and became the layout editor in April 2001. While she does the overwhelming majority of the layout for all of The Reporter Group’s newspapers, she’s a bit of a "Jill of all trades," also juggling administrative responsibilities, some of the editing (including for the Stamford paper) and, once in a blue moon, a little bit of writing. Outside of work, Diana is busy chasing after a very active child, a husband and two psycho cats. She’s also a life member of the Girl Scouts and an avid sci fi/fantasy fan.
