“Who is a Rabbi?”: Shabbat Services celebrating Rabbi Edgar Nof’s 10 years at Natan-Ya: עֲשֵׂה לְךָ רַב says the Mishnah, “Acquire yourself a Rabbi.” In honor of Rabbi Nof’s 10 years at Kehillat Natan-Ya, we’ll explore the meaning of the title “Rabbi” – and why the Sages saw Moses (and not others, like his brother Aaron) as their role model.
Neal is delighted to be the Fred and Anita Finkelman Scholar-in-Residence of Congregation Natan-Ya and Bridges for Hope, in honor of the Finkelmans’ grandson Matanel Yizhar Chodoff.
Each of these programs will be broadcast Live on Facebook at Natan Ya קהילת ״נתן יה״ Congregation, and the class will also be shared on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, please register here:
