Come for brunch and to meet Kesher's new part-time interim rabbi, Rabbi Dr. Avidan Milevsky.

A meet-and-greet brunch is scheduled for Sunday August 2 at 9:30am at the shul. Rabbi Milevsky will be joined by his wife, Ilana, who is an adjunct professor of psychology at the Community College of Baltimore County, and their children, Liora (15), Tamar (13), Uzi (9), Mati (7), and Moriah (1). The entire Milevsky clan is looking forward to getting to know our community in the weeks ahead and we are very excited to welcome them into the Kesher family. Please join me next weekend to welcome Rabbi Milevsky and his family to the Kesher community! 

Rabbi Milevsky brings to this position a background in both the rabbinate and mental health. He is currently an Associate Professor of Psychology at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania and a psychotherapist at Wellspring Counseling in Baltimore. He is the former interim Rabbi of Ner Tamid Greenspring Valley Congregation in Baltimore and was a visiting professor at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem. His research on families, well-being, and spirituality in psychotherapy has produced an impressive body of work including 5 books. He studied at yeshivot in Israel, at Telz Yeshiva in Chicago, and at Yeshiva Ve'kollel Ramach in Miami where he received rabbinic ordination from the Rosh Yeshiva HaRav Yochanan Zweig. This unique combination of rabbinical and psychological work will serve our community well as we move forward.

Please register so we know how many people to expect.
