LEVINE FAMILY SPEAKER SERIES
RABBI SALLY J. PRIESAND
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7TH 7PM at Temple Beth Shalom, Florida
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8TH 2PM at Temple Sinai, Middletown
Celebrate Havdalah on Saturday night at TBS and hear Rabbi Priesand speak about Rabbi Regina Jonas, the world’s first female rabbi. Very few people have ever heard of her because her papers were hidden away until after the fall of the Berlin Wall when they were discovered. Rabbi Priesand traveled to Germany five years ago with a group of rabbis, scholars and lay people to follow in the footsteps of Regina Jonas and dedicate a plaque in her memory at the concentration camp Terezin.
Sunday at Temple Sinai: Rabbi Sally J. Priesand, America’s first female rabbi, was ordained in June, 1972, by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, Ohio. From 1981-2006, she served as Rabbi of Monmouth Reform Temple, becoming Rabbi Emerita upon her retirement. Nationally, she has served on the Executive Board of both the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Union for Reform Judaism. Locally, she is President of Interfaith Neighbors, an organization whose primary purpose is to provide rental assistance and support services for the working poor.
