On Friday, May 10,  we honored and celebrated Rabbi Beth Kalisch who marked her 10th anniversary with Beth David.  We were especially excited to welcome as our guest speaker, Rabbi Rick Jacobs, President of the Union of Reform Judaism and Rabbi Kalisch’s childhood rabbi. Rabbi Jacobs is internationally known, and his presence at Beth David is a tribute to Rabbi Kalisch.

Rabbi Kalisch’s anniversary also captured local news interest, and she and Rabbi Jacobs were featured on CBS News Philadelphia!
