We are very pleased to share the wonderful news that we have officially hired Rabbi Marisa Papell as our next rabbi. She will begin her tenure with us on July 1, 2026.
Over the next two months, we will be working closely with Rabbi Papell and Rabbi Dennis to ensure a smooth and thoughtful transition. Our goal is to provide continuity, stability, and a warm welcome as Rabbi Papell prepares to join our community.
We look forward to this next chapter in the life of our congregation and are grateful for your continued support throughout this process.
Sincerely,
Stephen E. Dubner
Board President
