Our Clergy

Aseh l’cha rav, u’kneh l’cha chaver,
ve’hevei dan et kol ha’adam l’chaf z’chut

Make for yourself a mentor, acquire for yourself a friend,
and judge every person as meritorious (Pirke Avot 1:6)

The Mishnah describes the “rav” (Rabbi) as a trusted spiritual mentor, who is approachable like a friend, and inspires us to see the good in every person. Our clergy team strives to fulfil this ideal through:

• Visionary community leadership
• Stimulating Jewish learning and discussion
• Skilled pastoral care and sensitive guidance
• Meaningful and moving life cycle ceremonies
• Inspiring worship services and relatable sermons
• Partnership and engagement with the wider community    
• Welcoming outreach and a “meet people where they are” approach
• Working toward tikkun olam (repair of the world) and shalom (peace)

Our congregation is very grateful to have  Rabbi Nicole Roberts and  Cantor Toby Glaser as our spiritual leaders.
