fter nearly four years at
Congregation Shaarey Zedek,
Rabbi Stephen Weiss will be leaving
the congregation in mid-April.
He will take the position of senior
rabbi at the Conservative B'nai
Jeshurun-Temple on the Heights syna-
gogue in a Cleveland suburb.
"It is disconcerting any
time a rabbi leaves," says
Lawrence Berry, president
of the 2,200 member-
family Shaarey Zedek.
"We wish him much suc-
cess in his new position,
and years of happiness
and nachas (joy) for him
and his family."
In Pepper Pike, Ohio, the retiring
Rabbi Stanley Schachter is happy to
welcome Rabbi Weiss to succeed him
in the post. Other clergy at the 1,300
member-family congregation include a
second rabbi and a Fulltime cantor.
Rabbi Weiss was unavailable for
comment, but Rabbi Schachter
expects that he will continue the
involvement he established with syna-
gogue youth at Shaarey Zedek at both
B'nai Jeshurun's 425-student religious
school and its United Synagogue of
Conservative Judaism youth groups.
B'nai Jeshurun recently gave land on its
campus to Cleveland's Solomon Schechter
Day School for construction of a building
expected to be opened in January
"The size of Cleveland's Jewish com-
munity [80,000] is such that someone
who becomes rabbi of a congregation
here will also be expected to hold a
role on the community level," Rabbi
Schachter says. .
With adult learning an outgrowth of
the religious school program, Rabbi
Weiss also will be involved in teaching
classes for parents as well as participating
in the Cleveland Conservative move-
ment's adult Jewish studies consortium.
Meanwhile back home, Berry says a
Shaarey Zedek search committee invit-
ed rabbinical students from Jewish
Theological Seminary of America in
New York, graduating this spring, to
speak to the congregation during
Shabbat services oZMarch 17 and 24.
"We are also looking hard for a new
cantor," he says of a search to replace
Cantor Ralph Goren who recently left.
He came in July 1999. Li
