Senior Rabbi Search Updates

Fellow Congregants,

We hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend, starting with the inspiring and delightful adult B’nei Mitzvah on Saturday, July 1 (service recording available for streaming). It was lovely to see so many of you there, celebrating this milestone together.

As mentioned two weeks ago, we are committed to maintaining a highly transparent process, and will continue to keep you abreast of our progress. Here’s where we are this week:

Since the last update, we have reviewed all of the many respondents who expressed an interest in helping the search. So many share such deep love and commitment to our community — it is heartwarming. We are also considering multiple models for congregational input.

Right now, we are reaching out personally to everyone who expressed an interest in helping with the search. We are also finalizing the congregational survey.

Looking ahead, we will finalize and announce Search Committee membership, and will begin to gather the Search Advisory Group. We are eagerly awaiting Hazon’s complete report, which will be available to all of us shortly. This will be a key input into the search process.

Comments or questions? Send them to search@betham.org — we are eager to hear from you. Our next update will be available on Thursday, July 20.  

L’shalom, 

Ben Lloyd | Loree Farrar | Deb Radin
