Beit Emanuel is delighted to announce that our new Rabbi has arrived and eager to meet you.

 

Rabbi Chava Koster is the granddaughter of Dutch Holocaust survivors and was the first woman from the Netherlands to be ordained as a Rabbi in 1997 at the Academy for Jewish Religion in New York. She has served as Rabbi at B'Nai Israel in New York and Village Temple as well as Associate Rabbi at Temple B'Nai Abraham in Livingstone New Jersey.

Rabbi Chava was featured in the documentary Kol Ishah:  The Rabbi is a Woman.

 

She is fiesty with a brilliant mind, quick humour and a warm and welcoming personality..  She is a hugger and adores her canine companion Pip, who is a miniature daschund, she definitely embodies the sayings "must love dogs or have dog will travel"

 

We invite you to come and meet the Rabbi and join us in building a stronger future with her at the helm.
