2024 Klein Scholar Weekend and Installation of Rabbi Sara Rich

On the Shabbat of May 10-11, Temple Beth Tzedek held its annual Rabbi Isaac Klein Scholar in Residence Weekend and also installed Rabbi Sara Rich as our congregational rabbi.

The Klein Scholar was Rabbi Rachel Isaacs, who leads Beth Israel Congregation in Waterville, Maine; holds the Dorothy “Bibby” Levine Alfond Chair in Jewish Studies at Colby College; and is the Executive Director of the Center for Small Town Jewish Life at Colby College. Rabbi Isaacs is also a close friend of Rabbi Rich.

Congratulations & best wishes to Rabbi Rich for the installation
