A new rabbi comes to Temple Sholom in July, Rabbit Ari Rosenberg
NEW MILFORD – Temple Sholom will be welcoming a new rabbi in July.
Rabbi Ari Rosenberg was elected by the temple congregation Sunday to fill the role of its retired rabbi Norman Koch. Since Koch’s retirement last July, interim-rabbi Scott Saulson has led the Temple Sholom congregation.
Rosenberg will be coming to New Milford from his present position as rabbi at Temple Sha’arey Shalom in Springfield, N.J. Coming to New Milford is a return to his home state of Connecticut, where he grew up in Waterford, the son of Rabbi Aron Rosenberg.
“The Rabbi Search Committee found Rabbi Rosenberg to be a consensus builder who is active in his present community,” said Temple Sholom President Howard Lapidus. “The congregation overwhelmingly voted for him.”
Rabbi Rosenberg was ordained at the Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion in May 2008. He received his Bachelors degree from Rutgers University in 1996. He has two children, Ezra and Mayaan.
