Spiritual Leadership

Rabbi Murray Singerman became Beth Sholom's senior rabbi Feb. 1, 2010, following a six-month search for a successor to Rabbi Kosman. A proponent of post-denominational Judaism, he advocates creating vibrant Jewish lives for members of all ages through programming, education, leadership and spirituality. His goals are to build a progressive, participatory and inclusive congregation within the framework of halachah; to foster fellowship, community and spirituality; create a sanctuary that welcomes both men and women as active participants in and leaders of prayer and teaching; and to promote intellectual growth. Meet Rabbi Singerman.

Rabbi Morris Kosman was Beth Sholom's spiritual leader from 1961 until January 2010, when he became rabbi emeritus. During the 48 years he served as Beth Sholom's spiritual leader, Rabbi Kosman also taught Hebrew school, prepared teens for Bar and Bat Mitzvah and offered adult education classes in a wide array of topics. The guiding principles of Rabbi Kosman's leadership included the encouragement and nurturing of ongoing education in the Jewish experience for adults, as well as the development of a positive attitude toward Judaism and a solid educational background for children. Meet Rabbi Kosman.
