In the spirit of preparation and transparency the Temple Beth Sholom rabbinic search committee encourages members to stay in-tune with the latest updates and to have access to important documents that are pertinent to this process as our search for the next Senior Rabbi has begun.
For those of you that may not know Rabbi Gary Glickstein, our Senior Rabbi will retire in the summer of 2018. Our committee is hard at work processing all of the information we have learned from you, our congregation, in recent surveys and focus groups/parlor meetings. Your voice matters and we will continue to be here to listen! The search process takes a village. Our pledge to the community is that your voice be heard. We want to hear from you. Email us ideas, feedback and concerns. Tell us what is on your mind. We look forward to taking this journey together. Be sure to visit us online for the latest up-to-date news.
Thank you,
Andy Hirschl (Co-Chair) , Vanessa Ressler (Co-Chair) & the Rabbinic Search Committee
Update – 07.13.17 | CCAR Application Status
Dear Congregants,
Our Search Committee reached an exciting milestone this week with the posting of our official application for the Senior Rabbi position with the CCAR (Central Conference of American Rabbis). All Rabbis who are interested in applying will submit their letter and resume to the CCAR for vetting, and then our Committee will carefully consider each applicant. We expect to conduct interviews by Skype with as many eligible applicants as possible in October, and our finalists will be invited for on-site interviews in late November/December. We intend to recommend our final candidate to the Board and negotiate terms early in 2018. This aligns perfectly with our timeline as published last year. We invite you to read our application. As always, if you have any questions, please reach out to us anytime.
