Rabbinical Search

After 37 years of dedicated service to Congregation Beth Shalom, Rabbi Zimmerman will be retiring as our full-time Rabbi in mid-2026. We are deeply grateful for his leadership and commitment to our community.

As we look to the future, we are excited to begin the sacred work of identifying our next spiritual leader. This page will serve as your central hub for updates, important dates, and opportunities to engage throughout the rabbinical search process.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at .
