The Rabbi Search Committee was appointed by the President of CBS/FLJC to identify potential candidates for the position of permanent rabbi. After a rigorous screening and interview process, qualified candidates are invited to join us for a Shabbat visit, with various activities scheduled throughout the weekend, to afford as many opportunities as possible to engage with the congregation and get to know each other.

We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting Eitan Bloostein on Friday, February 20th through Sunday, February 22nd. (Click here to see Rabbi Bloostein’s bio.)
