gregants, but at the same time the enrollment of children in their religious education programs has doubled. Catering to the entire spectrum of congregants is vital to, in Sim’s words, “have a community as a whole, and make sure you have a whole community.”

“There’s sometimes a disconnect between the younger generation and the older generation,” Sim said. “Bridging that gap is tricky but worthwhile.”

Sim’s natural ability to balance the needs of all congregants and services struck both the board and community members alike.

“She brings some good ideas, some newness and freshness to us, as well as wanting to embrace our traditions,” Cooper said.

“You have funerals, and you also have baby namings,” Neely said. “We wanted someone who could really officiate and relate to all our needs.”

As the rabbi of Temple Am Echad, Sim hopes to help people renew their relationship with Judaism and celebrate their heritage and identities as American Jews.

“My mission is to help people find their Jewish Center,” Sim said. “To help people find how Judaism is important to them.”

Neely is confident that after years of seeking a perfect fit for Temple Am Echad, she will not have to join a rabbi search committee for a very long time.

“This rabbi is really going to add a lot to the community — I really think she’s gonna make a difference in Lynbrook,” Neely said. “It was a long haul. And I think our patience has been rewarded.”
