SPECIAL EVENT:
"MEET AND GREET"
with our new rabbi
JOSHUA PLAUT
Our search for a new rabbi has concluded, and we have the good fortune to welcome Rabbi Joshua Plaut as the new spiritual leader of Metropolitan Synagogue. Rabbi Plaut has a great background which includes his having led a congregation in Martha's Vineyard for many years. More recently, he has worked in Manhattan as the head of American Friends of Rabin Hospital, which raises funds for a large medical center in Israel. There is much more!
Rabbi Plaut has already begun leading our Friday night services, and we are hosting a special service on May 18th to give our members and friends a chance to welcome him to our Synagogue. Immediately following this service, which will begin at 6:00 pm., we will have an Oneg Shabbat. Mark your calendar!! This is only the second time since 1959 that there has been such a change at Metropolitan Synagogue, so th is is an important and meaningful event. No RSVP is required.
There will be a Special Performance by
Vocalist
Leah Tehrani
Not to be missed!
