Guest Rabbi Ari Blech
Joins Us for the High Holidays

Rabbi Ari Blech is a graduate of Yeshiva University where he studied English and Philosophy as befits someone planning to work in the Rabbinate and not get a “real job.” At YU Rabbi Blech studied under Rabbi Michael Rosensweig. He also picked up enough writing awards to help his parents shep a lot of nachas, which as an only son is really the very least he could do.
​​​​​​​
Rabbi Blech received his semicha from Chabad and has spent the last four years helping successfully build Bradley Beach, NJ into a year-round community. An 11th generation Rabbi, and the most eclectic example to date, Ari and his wife Alaethia (plus their adorable dog Eden, and cats, Kugel and Agape) love hosting guests, playing Rose and Thorn, learning, teaching, laughing, and–as of two weeks ago, Sunday–Stand Up Paddleboarding.

As we pray for the safety of our Jewish family in Ukraine and all communities in affected areas, we encourage you to do what you can to make a difference.

Please consider making a donation to UJA Federation. They and their partners have been on the ground in Ukraine since the beginning fulfilling emergency needs such as emergency relief for those who are homebound or have disabilities, humanitarian supplies, refugee aid, and the facilitation of Aliyah for those trying to leave the country.

 Thank you in advance for stepping up to support the critical needs in Ukraine as the crisis continues to unfold.
Kindly donate here.

Shabbat Shmooze
Another way to stay connected to congregants and let people know we care! 
Each Thursday, we will call a few congregants to chat, touch base,
and wish them Shabbat Shalom! 
Send us all call requests, recommendations, or interests.

Some examples of ways to get involved:

(Note: You will always have support and assistance. If you want to try something you've never done before, we will guide you. You won't have to figure it out on your own. We encourage you and welcome you to give as little or as much of your time as you are able.)
