Our Clergy
Future Rabbi’s Photo
MRT’s Clergy Team normally includes a full-time Rabbi. At this time MRT is working to hire an Interim Rabbi to start around the High Holy Days. In parallel, a Rabbi Search Committee has been formed and tasked with identifying and hiring a permanent Rabbi that best suits MRT’s needs. This Rabbi would start on 7/1/2023 and be selected using the results of listening groups and surveys facilitated by this committee.

She is one of our co-clergy who leads worship, performs life cycle events and works with students to help prepare them to become b’nai mitzvah.
