Rabbinic Search
Rabbi Jaffe will be retiring in June 2022, prompting the current multi-month search for the right person to lead our congregation. This page will include regular updates about the search and transition as we welcome our new senior rabbi.
We welcome your input and questions as we build the next decades of Temple Isaiah's journey--together. To reach the search committee, please email rabbinicsearch@templeisaiah.
