High Holidays are coming.  Click here!

Rabbi Joseph Berman

Rabbi Joseph Berman will be joining our congregation in September 2010. The baton will be passed to him by Rabbi Sokoll at the High Holiday Services at which they will co-officiate.

Originally from the flatlands of Kansas, he received his BA from Wesleyan University in Connecticut.  He received rabbinical ordination from Hebrew College in Newton in June of this year.  Prior to serving as our rabbi, he worked in Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist synagogues, on college campuses, and with Interfaith Community Boston.   He has also worked as an educator, community organizer, and farmer.

Rabbi Berman is committed to emotionally engaging and spiritually nourishing prayer, ritual, and Jewish practice in his life and in the life of the congregation.  He is also passionate about facilitating engaging, relevant, and meaningful Torah study.  Rabbi Berman feels blessed to be part of such a warm and welcoming community.

Farewell Brunch for Rabbi Sokoll

After 25 years of dedicated service to Temple B'Nai Israel, Rabbi Mark Sokoll is leaving us to dedicate more time to the Jewish Community Centers of Greater Boston.  We honored him with a farewell brunch to celebrate his time with us. 

A wonderful and emotional time was had by all.  Our gift to him was a beautiful Japanese maple tree that will always remind him of the 25 years he spent with us as we grew together emotionally, spiritually and intellectually

Temple Sanctuary Rededicated

Chanukat Beit Haknesset
 

Our sanctuary at Temple B'Nai Israel was rededicated on June 6, 2008.

A storm on February 14, 2007 caused extensive water damage to the Temple and a complete restoration project began soon after.  A talented crew of contractors and artisans led by our President, Jane Wiseman and Treasurer, Harvey Maibor and many other temple members created an outstanding result.

The Ceremony

The rededication ceremony began in our downstairs vestry with Margie Apfelbaum in a rousing shofar blowing initiating the candle lighting ceremony and processional to replace our Torahs to the newly restored Oren Kodesh.

Julian Lander, Dorothy Aronson, Margie Apfelbaum, Rabbi Mark Sokoll, Cantor Lois Welber, President Jane Wiseman

Processional at the Oren Kodesh

The children present dressed the Torahs with their silver ornaments before being returned to the Ark.

Lights Out

The Eternal Lamp was then re-lit and new lighting turned on to dramatically display the newly discovered vaulted ceiling above the ark now restored as originally designed.  See photo at the top.
