Rabbi Nosanchuk, who was ordained in 2001 at the Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR), was honored by the HUC-JIR with an honorary doctorate in Jewish Non-Profit Management in recognition of his 25 years of outstanding Jewish communal leadership. He recently earned a certificate in counseling and spiritual wellness from John Carroll University, volunteers as Dean of the faculty at URJ Kutz Camp, serves on the board of NATAL: Israel’s Trauma and Resiliency Center and is immediate past co-chair of Greater Cleveland Congregations. He is passionate about serving all of our members, but identifies mentoring and educating Jewish young people as the “soul” of his rabbinate.

Join Us for the next Shabbat Across Fairmount Temple, Friday, Aug. 16

In February, more than 300 congregants gathered in 24 homes and other locations for the first, and very successful Shabbat Across Fairmount Temple! Carrying on the energy and enthusiasm from that inaugural gathering, all temple members are again invited to share Shabbat dinners with others.  A summer date allows those who were out of town in February to participate, while also creating more summer dinner options, including dinner on the deck or pizza in the park.  As before, we have a great committee who will match hosts and guests. As before, registration is needed early to give time to work out the logistics.  RSVP Deadline July 28.   CLICK here to RSVP today.
