RABBI-CANDIDATES TO VISIT OR CHADASH, CONDUCT SERVICES

MARCH 5-7 AND MARCH 12-14

Rabbi Damsky has announced that she will be leaving in July; consequently, the Congregation has initiated its search for a new rabbi. The Rabbi Search committee has worked very hard, often meeting twice a week, and has reviewed over 30 applications!   The committee is very excited about the two candidates who will be joining us for Shabbat services and other programs. 

Rabbi Michael Goldstein and his wife, Annette, will be with us March 5-7.  Rabbi Goldstein currently serves as the spiritual leader of a 400-member congregation in Ocean, New Jersey, and he has been leading congregations since 1992.  Rabbi Goldstein and his wife have 3 children. 

During the second weekend of March, we will be welcoming Rabbi Micah Caplan and his wife, Michelle.  Rabbi Caplan grew up here in Phoenix, and he and his wife met at ASU Hillel.  He currently leads a congregation of over 500 families in Pinecrest, Florida, and has been a pulpit rabbi since 2002.  Rabbi Caplan and his wife also have 3 children.
