President’s Message
From Ginger Weeden

I want to pause and offer heartfelt gratitude to the members of our Rabbi Search Committee. Their work has required patience, discernment, confidentiality, and an extraordinary investment of time. They have approached this responsibility with seriousness, integrity, and deep care for Temple Beth Tikvah’s future.
