This past Shabbat, Rabbi Salem Pearce and rabbinical intern Rachel Sturges spent the weekend with the warm community of Congregation Beth Shalom, Auburn, AL. The two co-led Friday night services, and Rabbi Pearce shared a d'var Torah exploring Miriam's story in this week's portion. Saturday morning brought a lively Torah study, and the weekend wrapped up with havdalah followed by pizza and singing with a spirited group.

It's always a joy to see this community come alive with learning, prayer, and connection!

We're thrilled to welcome Rachel Gollay to Southern & Jewish 2026!

Rachel is Keshet's Southwest Community Mobilization Manager, and her work spans LGBTQ+ advocacy, mutual aid, harm reduction, and reproductive justice.

The HUC graduation celebrations continue! 🎓

We’re sending a big mazel tov to three former ISJL Program Associates on their recent graduations from Hebrew Union College:

✨ Mackenzie Haun

We’re so proud to see former ISJL staff members continuing to learn, lead, teach, and serve the Jewish community in meaningful ways.💙

And just like that, we're welcoming a new chapter! 🎉 While we celebrate Rabbi Erika Purdy's ordination, we're also thrilled to introduce our 2026 A. Mitchell and Morrise Meyer Bell Rabbinical Intern—Rachel Sturges!

Rachel is entering her second year at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and brings a remarkable range of talents and passions to the table — from interfaith connection and making Jewish learning accessible and creative, to music, art, and so much more. We're so glad she's spending her summer with us.

Welcome to the ISJL family, Rachel! 💙
