Join Rabbi Aron and Cantor Felder-Levy in welcoming guest speaker, Rabbi Steven Lewis Fuch, who will present "Earth Day, 1969 - Tu Bishvat, 200 C.E."

Rabbi Fuch is the newly appointed President of the World Union for Progressive Judaism.

From the WUPJ website:
Rabbi Fuchs has served as the senior rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel in West Hartford Connecticut since 1997. He has also served as Adjunct Professor at the Hartford Seminary, Connecticut. Prior positions include Senior Rabbi at Congregation Ohabai Shalom in Nashville, Tennessee and Rabbi at Temple Isaiah, Columbia, Maryland.

After his long and successful career as a congregational leader, Rabbi Fuchs has now committed to devote all his time and energy to the advancement of Progressive Jewish life in Israel and around the world. This life-long ambition can now be realized.

Rabbi Fuchs said: "To work for k’lal yisrael, to advance Progressive Jewish life in Israel and around the world is the opportunity for which I have been preparing my entire life. I know that working together as a team, a dedicated staff with a deeply committed group of lay leaders can and will make the World Union’s wonderful work even more effective in the years ahead".

Lunch will follow the service. Please RSVP to Nadine Toby at 358-1751 x5 or n adine@shirhadash.org.
