Spiritual Leadership

Beth Sholom has begun its search for a rabbi. We are working closely with the Conservative Movement to bring into our community a rabbi who best fits our spiritual needs. Currently, experienced lay leaders are conducting services; once a month we have arranged for a cantor or rabbi with no congregational affiliation to lead services. We have numerous area resources for spiritual leaders who can preside over life event rituals. We will keep the community informed about the process as it unfolds.

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.
