What is a Rabbinic Installation, and Why Now?

We will celebrate at our Friday night service, Saturday morning service, and Saturday afternoon Havdalah Gathering.

Installation rituals often take place several months after a new rabbi begins their role in a congregation. This timing allows the rabbi and the community to connect and establish relationships, making the installation a more meaningful celebration.

This weekend, we will be joined by visiting scholar and mentor, Rabbi Dvora Weisberg, the Rabbinical School Director of Hebrew Union College-JIR, who will lead events throughout the weekend. We also welcome guest rabbis Bess Wohlner (Congregation Bet Haverim), Julie Bressler (Temple Sinai Oakland), and Leah Citrin Nelson (Westchester Reform Temple).
