Message
From the Rabbi
I first came to Am Yisrael in 1990, to serve as the Assistant Rabbi. I
was immediately struck by the warmth and sincerity of our membership.
It did not take long for this congregation to become home for me and my
family. When our founding Rabbi, William Frankel, retired in 1994, I was
honored that the congregation chose me to be its sole rabbi. It has been
a good shidduch, a good match. The congregation is stimulating, both intellectually
and spiritually. I have had the opportunity to teach a great deal, which
I love. I am involved with our Adult Education program including Family
Education for our Religious school. It has been extremely gratifying to
reach out to our members both in good times and in bad. I have been privileged
to work with an exceptional professional staff which shares and reflects
the values of this congregation. I consider myself extremely fortunate
to be the Rabbi of such a special congregation.
Rabbi Debra Newman-Kamin
