VoWW Interview #10 - Rabbi Adena Blum

Picture
Overview
       

​"Voices of West Windsor" is a joint project between the Historical Society and SR Mosaic to fill in the gaps in our records of our town's history. We interview contemporary inhabitants of groups not typically found in our archives so that future residents can get a perspective decades later - much like how our perspectives of old West Windsor were obtained through interviews of longtime residents in the past. 

One of West Windsor's assets is its bounty of religious identities. For nearly half a century, Beth Chaim has served the Jewish community in our town. This week, join VoWW as we talk with Adena Blum, the synagogue's new Rabbi, about the Beth Chaim community's past, present, and future.

Talking Points:

(On what makes Beth Chaim unique)

"We identify with reform Judaism. We are unique in that our nearest congregation is conservative, so there is a we have a different theological outlook and a different outlook on Jewish practice...what I really love about Beth Chaim is that yes, we're the largest congregation in the area but we're also down to earth and very welcoming...we want everyone to find a way to have a voice and to get involved. I'm really proud of the different ways that people can intersect with the synagogue. It's not just about Jewish education or worship; it's also about social action and it's about learning for all people and stages."
