Rabbi David Teutsch, Scholar in Residence
October 27 – 29, 2023 

On Monday October 2nd, Ross Brann will teach and Adult Education class entitled "Orthodox, Conservative, Reconstructionist, Reform: The Matrix of American Judaism.

During this year’s Scholar in Residence Program, we aim to build upon Ross’s teaching by providing our congregation with the opportunity to experience both the Reconstructionist movement and the Renewal movement, each of which shares the space between Reform and Orthodox with the Conservative movement.

Rabbi David A. Teutsch is Wiener Professor Emeritus at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, where he previously served as president for a decade, and later as founding director of the Center for Jewish Ethics. He also served as executive director of the Federation of Reconstructionist Congregations and Havurot, as program director of the National Jewish Resource Center (now known as CLAL, the National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership), and as a congregational rabbi.

Temple Beth-El launched an endowment campaign to secure the future of the congregation.  Every gift to this campaign, which will conclude in 2024, will be matched for the next four years so as to permanently sustain the amazing TBE community, school and activities associated with the temple.  In appreciation for their many years of leadership to our congregation, this campaign is named in honor of our beloved Rabbi Emeritus, Scott Glass together with his spouse, Sharon, who both gave tirelessly to our community throughout their 43 years of service to TBE. 

The campaign goal is $2M to be raised over 5 years with the goal, when fully funded (including the challenge match of $1.5M) to provide $100K in annual flow of funds in support of the temple, for operations, reserve funds, programming and as needed capital replacement expenses.  For further details, please reach out to the campaign committee chair HERE
