2017-18 Bayit Rabbinic Team Update

Dear Bayit Family,

We are excited to share with all of you the changes to our

rabbinic team for the coming year, effective July 1, 2017.

Rabba Anat Sharbat, completing

her second year as a rabba in our

Bayit, will be expanding from

part-time to full-time as our

Associate Rabba. She will continue

her pastoral, life cycle, teaching and

other rabbinic responsibilities, and

she will also oversee daily tefillah

and our conversion program and

other details of the Bayit's

day-to-day spiritual activities.

Rav Ezra Seligsohn, who received

semikhah from YCT this month, will

be joining our Bayit as a full-time

Associate Rabbi. He will be involved

in all areas of rabbinic team work,

with a focus on envisioning Bayit

community engagement and

programming.

Rav Dan Margulies, who will

receive semikhah from YCT this

month, will be joining our Bayit as a

part-time Assistant Rabbi, serving

primarily at weekday tefillot and on

Shabbatot and Chagim. His

emphasis will be in teaching.

We look forward to each of you

getting to know and learn from Ezra

and Dan, both talented and wonderful rabbis, and to our entire

rabbinic team's deepening its relationships with each of

you. We are blessed that Rav Avi and Rabba Sara continue to

be available and involved in our rabbinic team.

As we say goodbye to Rav Ari and also to Rabba Ramie, we are

committed to the Bayit's mission, and we will continue to go

mechayil el chayil - from strength to strength. We are here as

always to answer any of your questions, and we welcome your

feedback.

Bivrakhah,

JEWISH HERITAGE TOURS: Rabbi Lookstein Leads July Mission to Berlin/Prague (or Berlin Only – your choice).

Rabbi Haskel Lookstein once again teams-up with beloved Ramaz Faculty alumnus Dr. David Bernstein as the “Dynamic Duo” of

Jewish heritage tours, but this July they soar to Berlin/Prague (a Berlin Only option is available). Berlin and Prague sit at the

crossroads of modern Jewish history. Many of the themes of contemporary Judaism began here: the struggle with assimilation, the

division into movements, the search for a homeland, and the battle against anti-Semitism. In the span of just a few short days we

will visit historical sites critical to the Enlightenment, early Reform Judaism and Modern Orthodoxy, Zionism and the Holocaust.

The tour will include places of both general and Jewish interest including the Museum of the Resistance, Sanssouci, the Rykestrasse

Synagogue, the Memorial to Book Burnings, Sachsenhausen, the Wannsee Conference Villa, the Max Lieberman House, the Prague

Jewish Museum, Altneushul, Charles Bridge, Prague Castle and Terezin, among many more sites. Enjoy access to inspiring local

leaders, including German members of Parliament, local Rabbinic leadership, and Israeli diplomats. Experience for yourself the

inspiration felt by hundreds who have joined us on previous missions. One needs no Ramaz/KJ nexus to participate. For pricing,

itinerary and registration, visit www.CKJ.org/EuropeMission and direct questions to LSS@CKJ.org.

MONDAY NIGHT SOFTBALL IS BACK! Step up to the plate for our weekly informal softball game with other Riverdale

synagogues. Every Monday during the summer, from June 26 to August 28, we will meet in Seton Park (Independence Ave. &

to watch and cheer. It's a relaxing and fun way to spend a summer evening and create community in Riverdale! For more

information, please contact to Yoni Schwab (yoni.schwab@gmail.com) or James Lapin (jameslapin@gmail.com).
