Wishing Rabbi Green Mazel Tov & Bon Voyage
October 5, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
During 10:00 AM Shabbat Services
It’s with heavy hearts that our congregation will formally say l’hitraot and todah rabbah to Rabbi Green, but we also can wish her a hearty Mazal Tov and Bon Voyage!
Why? Because Rabbi Green married Akiva Potok in Santa Rosa, CA on August 19, celebrating with friends and family who traveled from near and far. She will be leaving us after more than a year at HNT where she inspired us with her teaching, sermons, and lovely voice. Rabbi Green was instrumental in jumpstarting our young adult program and worked collaboratively with our clergy and Dr. Krigel in the planning and facilitation of our services and programs.
Rabbi Green will be joining her husband in LA and will be bringing her compassion and many talents to Beit T’Shuvah, a Jewish addiction rehabilitation center in Culver City, returning there after two prior years of internship while she was in rabbinical school. She will be meeting with clients to provide pastoral counseling, facilitating groups, teaching, leading services, and helping to innovate new approaches in integrating Jewish spirituality with health and healing.
Though Rabbi Green will be with us through Yom Kippur, please join together on October 5 to say thank you and goodbye.
