 Rabbi Shinder is our congregation's Rabbi, Cantor, and Director of Education. This full docket enables her to work with literally all arms of the temple family tree. From various Family Education programming, to tutoring B’nei Mitzvah students of all ages, to providing grief and crisis counseling, to teaching Adult Education, to working with the Board of Trustees, Rabbi Shinder’s vision, spirit, and voice are key components of the religious, educational, and social programs of Temple Beth Shalom. All programs are enhanced by the rabbi’s vision to cultivate a place of respect and honor for the non-Jewish spouses and parents who are a part of the congregational family.
