Tommi Ratzker, a Livingston, NJ native, is a recent graduate of Yeshiva University’s Sy Syms School of Business, where she earned her B.S. in Data Analytics. Her connection to Shaare Zedek is both personal and deeply rooted — her grandfather, Menno Ratzker has been involved with the Hospital for almost 60 years, served as President of the American Committee for six years and currently serves as Chair of the Board.
Tommi’s first memories of Shaare Zedek date back to childhood, riding down Fifth Avenue on the Hospital’s float in the Israeli Day Parade. While on the Sulam summer program, and as a student at Midreshet Moriah, she often visited sick patients at Shaare Zedek, a tradition she continues every trip to Israel. In college, Tommi served on the Shaare Zedek College Board and Bowl-A-Thon for two years, serving as a board member, team captain, and then ultimately as a Co-Chair of the College board and event in 2024. Her fundraising efforts directly contributed to the purchase of life-saving NICU equipment and supported the building of Shaare Zedek’s crucial underground ICU. Carrying forward a proud family legacy, Tommi is committed to continuing her involvement with Shaare Zedek and representing the Ratzker name into the next generation
