Save the Date! THE INSTALLATION OF
RABBI ANDREW OBERSTEIN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2021 ONSITE AND ONLINE
At last, we have the opportunity to welcome our new rabbi, Andrew Oberstein. We may have already experienced his engaging teaching skills, relished in his oratory abilities from his sermons, delighted in the harmonies he has shared with Cantor Stillman, and felt his compassion in a pastoral encounter. Now, we will celebrate his arrival formally to our community at his installation on October 15, 2021 at Qabbalat Services onsite and online. How wonderful. Rabbi Oberstein is familiar to us. He served as our rabbinic intern this year. Before entering rabbinic school at the Hebrew Union College, Rabbi Oberstein was a member of our congregation and then worked here as our Riverway and Social Justice Coordinator with Rabbi Matthew Soffer. We are delighted to welcome Rabbi Oberstein’s mentor and dear friend, Rabbi Soffer back to Temple Israel as a beloved colleague. Rabbi Soffer served as Temple Israel’s rabbi for nine years. He is now the Senior Rabbi of Judea Reform Congregation in Durham, North Carolina. He will offer the D’var Torah and, along with our clergy, help to install Rabbi Oberstein.
PLAN ON JOINING ONSITE OR ONLINE. IT WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL EVENING OF CELEBRATION.
