He is attracted to the Stanton Street Shul because it is orthodox, open, welcoming and progressive.  He believes that combination defines him very well.

Community News: We are excited to announce that two very strong rabbinic candidates have been invited to  the Shul to meet the Stanton Street Shul family. After several interviews, the Search Committee has vetted two candidates to date. These Shabbatot will be an opportunity for our community to meet and greet these impressive men.  June 14-15, Parsha Nasso - Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg (see details below) July 12-13, Parsha Chukat - Rabbi Ben Keil  Please submit questions you would like to ask the rabbis at the Q & A sessions to Jeff Katz in advance jeff.katz48@gmail.com   Mazal Tov to our Gabbai, Avraham Sosa for making Jewish Week's 36 under 36!
