It is with great pleasure we announce after months of searching, reviewing, and interviewing, that the Bnai Shalom Board of Directors has unanimously approved the contract to hire Rabbi Adrienne Rubin as Rabbi of Bnai Shalom. This email serves as notification that a special congregational meeting will occur on Wednesday, April 24, at 7:00 p.m. via ZOOM ONLY to allow our Congregation to vote regarding the hiring of Rabbi Adrienne to Bnai Shalom. Meeting details and ZOOM credentials will be sent out in a future communication. If approved, Rabbi Adrienne will join our Bnai Shalom family on July 01, 2024, and will be under contract through June 30, 2027.
Rabbi Adrienne was a guest Rabbi in February for Friday evening and Saturday morning services. Due to overwhelmingly positive feedback, the Board made Rabbi Adrienne an offer, which was enthusiastically accepted. The contract was negotiated, signed by Rabbi Adrienne, then unanimously approved by the Board. The Board strongly recommends the Congregation approve the contract.

Congregation Bnai Shalom will continue helping those in need by making the mitzvah of Tzedakah a regular feature. We will highlight charities each month in addition to helping Bnai Shalom. This form of social justice is a commitment that will continue to enrich those needing support and, in turn, enrich those who donate. Please send it to the attention of our secretary, Irene Kurpen at Bnai Shalom. She in turn will place the sealed donations into the Tzedakah Box. Under the auspices of Rabbi Melody and our accountant, there will be regular accounting and distribution of the funds. You, in turn, will receive a receipt of your donation. Since the beginnings of our previous congregations, we have been an integral part of the Easton community. Our logical focus will be to serve needy recipients in our community. If you have suggestions for our upcoming Tzedakah spotlight, please send them to Herb Woolf at: herbwoolf13@gmail.com.
