Rabbi Mike
|
|
Michael Lotker’s rabbinic career has grown along with
Temple Ner Ami. Rabbi Mike, as
we call him, served us from 1996-1998 after years of Jewish study and
teaching, but before actually enrolling in rabbinic school. He has now come
back to us fully ordained, having earned his
Master of Arts in Hebrew Letters degree from Hebrew Union College. He also
holds graduate and undergraduate degrees in physics and spent his first
career in alternative energy (solar, wind, geothermal) development. He is a
twenty-year resident of our area and has three adult children. We are very
excited about the recent publication of Rabbi Mike's book, A Christian's
Guide to Judaism. You can find out more about it (and even order a
signed copy) at www.lotker.com.
Please feel free to contact Rabbi Mike if you or someone you know is in
need of rabbinical support for any reason. |
