Student Rabbi Ora Jacobsen
Student Rabbi Ora Jacobsen, a student at Hebrew Union College in New York, is journeying once again to Fredericksburg to serve our congregation. She will be here about every three weeks from September 2023 through May 2024. When she is in town, she leads Shabbat services and programs throughout the weekend. Watch the calendar to see which weekends she will be here. We are thrilled that she is with us again this year!
Contact her at student.rabbi@bstva.org.
Lay Leadership
One of Beth Sholom Temple's strengths is its dedicated group of talented lay leaders. These volunteers lead Shabbat services and other events, chant Torah, deliver sermons, and provide musical accompaniment. This has enriched our opportunities for active learning and study, but more importantly for deep engagement in our liturgy and texts.
Every Friday evening and Saturday morning, a minimum of three individuals are needed for the service -- a Service Leader, a Torah Reader, and a Zoom Producer. Our Ritual Committee is always happy to train new Lay Leaders for BST and members are encouraged to participate in the program. Please contact Allan Grady at elswheels@gmail.com if you are interested in a role in one of our services.
