“THE SMALL CONGREGATION
ALLOWS FOR CONSTANT
BONDING TO OCCUR.”
— ZEEV MAINE
Rabbi is nice and welcomes
everyone.”
According to Rabbi
Rubenstein, “What we see
on Shabbat and the holiday
services reflects the feel of
our congregation: warmth,
openness and individuality.”
What makes Beth Ahm
unusual is that it has no
cantor. Adult volunteers and
post b’nai mitzvah students
help Rabbi Rubenstein lead
the Shabbat services.
Wayne State Professor
Howard
Lupovitch
works for the
congregation as
a Torah leader
and its “go-to”
davener. He,
along with his
brother-in-law
Ronn Nadis, who is the
synagogue’s past president,
are active members who lead
services, along with Nadis’
two grown daughters Emily
Silver and Rebecca Strobehn.
The congregation sees
them as the sound of their
services and davening
throughout the year. Many
members participate in
services on Shabbat, reading
the Torah and Haftorah.
Nancy Goldberg,
a 10-year member
from Farmington
Hills, is one of
those people.
Rabbi Rubenstein
approached
Nancy and saw
potential in her as a leader on
the bimah. The two met, and
Rabbi Rubenstein helped her,
page by page, learn how to
lead the Shabbat services. He
believed in her and now she
regularly chants on the bimah
for their Shabbat services.
Beyond Shabbat services,
Nancy has read the Torah in
on Yom Kippur. “There are a
lot of opportunities to lead at
Beth Ahm,” she says. “I find
the people both friendly and
down to earth.”
Each person who leads
services has a different tune
and style, which makes
every Shabbat unique.
At Beth Ahm, you’ll find
a small shul with a big
welcome and a big family
that always supports its
members’ involvement.
That is what this informal
congregation prides itself
on.
