The Rabbinic Search Committee is delighted to welcome a new rabbinic candidate, Rabbi Levi Welton, to our community for Shabbat on January 24-25. Please make an effort to attend services and other opportunities to meet him throughout Shabbat.

Rabbi Levi Welton is an educator-turned-writer, passionate about sharing the values of Torah with a global audience. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, he was raised in a Chabad household, taught English & Gemorah in Chassidic Yeshivot in Brooklyn, and worked on a documentary film, "Crime after Crime," that won the Sundance Film Festival award. He was the spiritual leader of The Hampton Synagogue and the first Assistant Rabbi to be promoted to Senior Rabbi in that synagogue's history. Currently, he works as the spiritual leader of Lincoln Park Jewish Center and a Physician Assistant visiting low-income patients in the Bronx. Additionally, he serves as a Chaplain in the United States Air Force. When he isn't working, you'll find Rabbi Welton promoting pro-Israel activism, cultivating cultural relationships for the Charadei community, and interviewing extraordinary people for his monthly newsletter.
