Rabbi David Levinksy Visit

Tuesday, March 18, 2025

We will welcome Rabbi David Levinsky, Ph.D. and his wife, Kate Phillippo, as he visits our synagogue the weekend of April 4th -6th. He is excited to introduce himself to our entire community. During his visit, our congregation will have multiple opportunities to connect with the rabbi. Rabbi Levinsky will offer the sermon on Friday night, April 1, at our Shabbat Services which begin at 6:00 pm. The congregation will have a chance to meet and greet the rabbi at the Oneg Shabbat after services. On Saturday morning, April 5th at 9:15 am, Rabbi Levinsky will lead Torah study. He will also spend the entire Sunday morning, April 6th, engaging our Religious School students and their parents.

 

We are excited about his first official visit. Let us use this weekend to show the rabbi  our New Reform Temple hospitality. Rabbi Levinsky will officially become our spiritual leader on July 1,2025.

Is it ever okay to lie? A seventh grader once asked me a deceptively simple question: Is it ever okay to lie? The Torah answers this question not with a legal decision but with a story. When Joseph’s brothers fear revenge after Jacob’s death, they invent words their father never spoke. They lie, and the […]
