Rabbi’s Message

I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the incoming Rabbi of Congregation Anshe Emeth. I write this message thinking about the verse from Isaiah 45:7 where God explains, “I fashion light and create the darkness…” The Jewish community, both globally and here in Hudson, has experienced times of light and times of darkness. This past January, we lost Rabbi Daniel Fried, z”l, who served Congregation Anshe Emeth and the greater Jewish community faithfully for over forty years and oversaw some of the most vibrant periods in Congregation Anshe Emeth’s history. He left big shoes to fill at a time of darkness, when many of us need Jewish community support more than ever. I am humbled by the opportunity to follow in his footsteps while working together with you to find new directions to help our community grow.
