Rabbi David D. Schonblum -- In the Community
We are very proud to announce that our Rabbi, David D.
Schonblum, has been elected to membership in the
Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami, the association
of more than 90 Conservative, Orthodox,
Reconstructionist, and Reform rabbis. In addition, Rabbi
Schonblum has been elected to the Board of Directors of
the South Dade Branch of the Greater Miami Jewish
Federation. Rabbi Schonblum is only one of two rabbis
serving in this important position. Recently, our Rabbi
was elected as a member of the Community Board of
Baptist Health System, which is the operating
organization for Baptist, South Miami, Doctors, and
several other leading local hospitals.
In the brief time that Rabbi Schonblum has been with us,
he has made a tremendous impact in our community and
Congregation. We wish him further mazal tov and success.
Kol Ha-Kavod, Rabbi!
