Dear Chaverim,
Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting with chaverim in the Cherry Hill and the Philadelphia area, including Rabbis Michael Davies, Jonathan Bienenfeld, Ari Federgrun, and Steven Goltlib. I always come away from these visits inspired by the dedication and creativity of our members in their communities. In my visit to Philadelphia, some of the conversation was about the (then) pending pro-Palestinian bike ride that targeted Jewish- and Israeli-owned restaurants. Baruch Hashem, we saw the support for our community far outnumber the protestors.
I also had the privilege of participating in the Rebbetzins’ Yarchei Kallah. It was truly moving to see our Rebbetzins learning together and strengthening one another.
Our Rebbetzins carry so much of the weight of communal life, often without the recognition or support they deserve. Three years ago, the RCA took over the Rebbetzin portfolio from Yeshiva University. Since then, through the Rebbetzins’ Circle, we have built ongoing programming throughout the year: learning, peer connection, and practical resources.
I want to publicly thank Adina Morris for all of her hard work on the convention – and all our Rebbetzins, our true partners in avodas hakodesh, and I invite you to do the same! If your Rebbetzin is not yet part of the Rebbetzins’ Circle, please encourage her to join us by emailing amorris@rabbis.org.
