Does Kehilat Hadar have a rabbi?
Kehilat Hadar currently has no full-time staff. Although many rabbis have taught at Hadar programs, and Rabbi Shai Held previously served as our resident scholar, there is no rabbi who leads Hadar. The gabbaim consult with Rabbi Elie Kaunfer and Rabbi Ethan Tucker, founders of both Kehilat Hadar and Mechon Hadar, when determining ritual policy. As Kehilat Hadar becomes the primary Jewish community for an increasing number of people, we recognize the importance of being able to speak with a rabbi within the Kehilat Hadar community. Several volunteers, including rabbis and senior rabbinical students, have offered to speak with members of the community regarding religious, spiritual, pastoral, or other issues. If you are interested in speaking with someone, please contact Hadar’s Lifecycle Team.
