Inspiring Rabbis 2016: 32 Men and Women Who Move Us Most

Rachael Bregman

My wife and I live in Connecticut and visit Coastal Georgia a few times a year. We previously attended services haphazardly at Temple Beth Tefilloh in Brunswick over the years. When Rabbi Rachael came, the synagogue became alive with people and ruach. We now attend every Rosh Hashanah and even had Rabbi Rachael renew our wedding vows for our 35th anniversary last year. She brings a wonderful personality and excitement to the community. She is truly a rabbi “of the people.” Her services are inspiring and her Torah study on Shabbat mornings is spiritual and fun. She has created a community where only a shadow of one existed before. She’s a rabbinic delight. She embodies what an inspirational clergy person should be.

A message from our CEO & publisher 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.
