On Sunday, February 25th Q&A will be from 2:00-3:00.  This shift in schedule is to accommodate the Progressive Dinner the evening of Saturday, February 24th.

I am writing today not only to tell you about the schedule of our candidate's visits, but also to encourage you to attend as many events as you can and reply to the post-visit surveys.  During these visits, we are evaluating the candidates, and they are also evaluating us, trying to gauge if our community feels like a good fit.  I would love for the candidates to meet as many of you as possible to really get a sense of the full breadth of who we are as a community.

In the same spirit, I would also like to request that we not discuss our candidates on the listserv.  Please save any questions that you have and ask them directly during our weekend events.  We will also post video footage of the Q & A for those who are not able to attend in person.

If you have any questions about the search, please feel free to get in touch Tanya or any member of the search committee.  Members of the committee are:

  • Tanya Katz, Chair of the Rabbi Search Committee
  • Susan Aronson    
  • Myra Blatt
  • Neil Davison
  • Shelley Dubkin-Lee
  • Melissa Grossman-Naples
  • Tanya Katz
  • Rachel Peck
  • John Reiman
