Rabbi Harris’s 20th Anniversary

Home > Rabbi Harris’s 20th Anniversary

This spring marks an exciting time in Beth El’s history. In January, we came together as a community to celebrate 70 years of Beth El at our annual Gala. Now we mark another milestone – 20 years with Rabbi Harris on the Beth El bimah.

Rabbi Harris’s joy and passion for his role in both our Beth El community and the broader one around us have been evident throughout his 20 years. His focus on pastoral care, interfaith relations, Shabbat celebration, love of Israel, and strong community has and will continue to put our congregation on a strong path for another 70+ years.

On Friday, May 12, we held a Shabbat Dinner in honor or Rabbi Harris’s 20 years at Beth El. During the dinner, Rabbi Harris was gifted a book full of memories and well wishes from across the Beth El community.
