L'dor Va'dor - From Generation to Generation... this phrase is embedded into the culture of Congregation Beth Or; from our tagline, Lighting the Path for all Generations, to the beautiful tapestry that sits above the choir loft in the Gitlin Sanctuary, to the words we recite during worship services.
As Beth Or approaches its 70th year in 2025, there has never been more symbolism behind this phrase. We are in an exciting period of transition.
Last year, we focused on honoring traditions as we celebrated the legacy of Rabbi Gregory Marx with a variety of special events that touched the entire congregation during his final year leading up to his retirement and transition to Rabbi Emeritus. We welcomed Rabbi Melissa Carp Lefkowitz (Assistant Rabbi), installed Cantor Jaime Murley, and introduced a new Executive Director, Phil Nordlinger.
In year two, our focus shifts to illuminating the future. We will celebrate the evolution of our community under the leadership of Rabbi Jason Bonder, as he embraces his Senior Rabbi role. A series of events throughout the year will culminate with a large community-wide block party to celebrate the milestone 70th anniversary of our vibrant congregation.
With our new leaders in place and with the thoughtful, strategic direction provided by our board, we continue to seamlessly move our congregation forward, meet the needs of our diverse membership and ensure our light shines bright long into the future, guided by the mission, vision and core values of Beth Or.
