Proclaim Liberty Throughout the Land: A Blessing for the Class of 2026 | Rabbi Rebecca Rosenthal

Watch the full sermon at the link in our bio.

To mark Rabbi Buchdahl's 20th anniversary at Central, our community came together to offer this beautiful community blessing during Shabbat services last week. Over the last 20 years, Rabbi Buchdahl has created a Jewish home for so many here at Central and taught us that dreams really do come true.

From the place where we are right
Flowers will never grow
In the spring.

The place where we are right
Is hard and trampled
Like a yard.

But doubts and loves
Dig up the world
Like a mole, a plow.

And a whisper will be heard in the place
Where the ruined
House once stood. - Yehuda Amichai, translated by Stephen Mitchell

Shabbat Shalom from Central Synagogue.

This past Shabbat, we honored our senior Rabbi Angela Buchdahl as she marked her 20th anniversary with Central Synagogue. Watch her remarks and reflections on what it takes to make it all possible.
