Rabbi's Message

Shalom, chaverim. Please keep your prayers for peace coming - we need them!

I hope to see many of you this Friday evening for a joint service, which will draw on the best liturgical traditions of both congregations. It is my parting gift to you as you rethink how each congregation will approach Shabbat during this transitional period between rabbis. It is my fondest hope that you will find new ways to support the Jewish needs of all the congregants of both congregations, strengthening our small but mighty Quad Cities Jewish community.

It has been the honor of my lifetime and my rabbinate to walk this new path for the last five years with two congregations, each striving to keep their own identity while also supporting one another as part of one Jewish family, one sacred community. Thank you for all your kindnesses to me and my family!

L’shalom,

Rabbi Linda
