Rabbis 2015

Carnie Shalom Rose

Rabbi Carnie Shalom Rose is someone who learns from others and has a way of giving just the right message to each individual for every occasion. His d’var Torah each Shabbat is inspiring and teaches a meaningful lesson. In addition, he is actively involved in the Jewish and interfaith community. Rabbi Rose recently underwent brain surgery to remove a tumor, and his comeback has been a lesson to many in how to be positive, resourceful and inspiring on the way to recovery. He is an energetic, enthusiastic and outstanding leader and teacher.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
