Welcome to Rabbi Josh Pernick

Congregation Beth Israel welcomes Rabbi Josh Pernick to the community. Rabbi Josh will assume the Oscar J. Tolmas Charitable Trust Rabbinic Chair as spiritual leader of our kehillah.

With a new rabbi comes a new website. We're in the process of migrating all of our existing content and launch all of the new resources for the congregation and community--so check back frequently on our progress and we appreciate your patience.
