Meet Our Rabbi

Shalom u’vracha – Peace and blessings to you.

Welcome to Temple Shalom of Port Charlotte—a sacred gathering place where Jewish life, learning, and community come alive. Whether you are seeking a spiritual home, a place to connect with others, or simply exploring what Judaism means to you, we are honored that you are here.

Temple Shalom is a Reform congregation rooted in tradition and guided by values that embrace diversity, curiosity, and compassion. We celebrate the richness of Jewish life through prayer, music, education, and service. And we do so in a spirit of warmth, inclusivity, and authenticity.

Judaism, at its heart, is a conversation—a dialogue between ancient wisdom and modern experience. It invites us to ask questions, seek meaning, and show up for one another with open hearts. At Temple Shalom, we welcome everyone into that conversation—individuals and families, Jews by birth and by choice, interfaith households, and anyone looking to connect more deeply with Jewish identity and community.

As your Rabbi, it is my joy to walk beside you—whether in times of celebration or challenge, learning or reflection. I encourage you to visit us, come to a service or program, introduce yourself, and allow Temple Shalom to become part of your story.

I look forward to learning, praying, and growing together.

B’shalom,
Rabbi
Temple Shalom of Port Charlotte
