A New Chapter Begins: Welcome Rabbi Brian Serle!
Spring is finally in the air! As the flowers begin to bloom in Joliet, our congregation is experiencing a beautiful season of renewal and growth. It is with great joy and excitement that we officially welcome Rabbi Brian Serle to our community today!
Rabbi Serle joins us at a pivotal time, and we are eager to embark on this new journey together. His arrival is the result of a dedicated, community-wide effort to find a leader who resonates with our shared values and vision for the future.
Upcoming Community Events
We have a wonderful lineup of events this summer to help us celebrate and connect:
Tot Shabbot/Family Service and Potluck: Join us on Friday, July 24, for a dairy potluck dinner followed by a warm and engaging service led students leading us in prayer and song. It is a wonderful way to share a meal and conversation.
Lunch and Learn: Rabbi Brian encourages learning together to build our community. As we learn and laugh together, we get to know and understand each other better. We will study the weekly Torah portion and anything else that comes up! We meet every Wednesday at noon. Please call to register. Our next Lunch and Learn is June 24, and then every Wednesday in July (July 1, July 8, July 15, July 22, July 29).
Welcome, Rabbi Serle! We look forward to many fulfilling years of learning, growing, and celebrating together.
Dianne Parker, President
