自我介绍
自我介绍
While in university, I participated in a double-degree programming with Columbia University and the Jewish Theological Seminary. I managed to complete two BAs at the same time--one in Sociology and one in Talmud and Rabbinics. Upon early graduation from university, I enrolled in seminary for graduate school. I completed a Masters Degree from the graduate school on my path to Rabbinic Ordination.
During all of these years of education:
I served in the United States Navy
I have worked with local police and law enforcement.
I have participated and served in national politics.
I have taught on the elementary, high school, and university levels.
And I am a proud father of four children.

New Membership & Financial Alternatives for the American Synagogue: From Traditional Dues to Fair Share to Gifts from the Heart
Avi Olitzky and Kerry Olitzky
Jewish Lights PublishingOpen wide your mind―and your community―to fresh concepts of synagogue financial and spiritual success.
"[A] welcome addition.... Replete with examples of synagogues, independent minyanim and spiritual communities that have developed creative and sometimes surprising strategies ... that ameliorate what many observers believe are obstacles to recruiting and engaging Jews into their spiritual communities."
―from the Foreword by Dr. Ron Wolfson
The concept of the "dues-based membership model" in synagogues was once an innovation. Now that model is in decline and sweeping change is required in order to reverse the downward trend in synagogue participation. This groundbreaking book provides synagogue and communal leaders with a useful process and the ingredients necessary to consider important changes in the synagogue, including:
- Thoughtful new models for membership and synagogue finance
- Examples from successful synagogues, bolstered by illustrations from the private sector
- Practical steps for change and implementation
With checklists for exploring and adopting alternative models from nationally recognized congregational consultant Debbie Joseph.
