RABBINIC HERITAGE COMMITTEE

The KAM Isaiah Israel Rabbinic Heritage Committee was established in 2017 with the merger of three existing committees that honored the memories of three beloved rabbis who served our congregation: Jacob J. Weinstein, Hayim Goren Perelmuter, and Arnold Jacob Wolf. All three rabbis were committed to dynamic Jewish principles of study, worship, and social justice. The Rabbinic Heritage Committee sponsors programs that enrich the life of the congregation and community in areas that inspired our rabbis, including Jewish thought and practice, social justice, Israel, interfaith understanding, the arts, and intergenerational activities focusing on Jewish teaching and learning. 

Committee Members: Cantor David Berger, Rona Brown, Deborah Epstein, Nina Helstein, Sidney Hollander, Judith Kossy, Ruth Levine, David Midgley, Kate Morrison, Nancy Perelmuter, Joan Pomaranc, Rabbi Frederick Reeves, Donna Rosenbush, Roberta Siegel, Nikki Stein, Grace Wolf
