OUR RABBI AND REBBETZIN

Rabbi Dr. Steven Moss and Rebbetzin Judy Moss came to Temple Sinai in the fall of 2022. We look forward to their serving our congregation and community for many years to come.

Rabbi Moss is active in the Delray Beach community at large serving as chaplain to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department and the Delray Beach Police Department. He embodies the title Rabbi (teacher) in conducting a Friday afternoon Shabbat service for residents at Harbor’s Edge Rehab and in his sermons and classes at Temple Sinai. A published author of books and articles, he is currently working on a translation of a Hebrew text from the 17th century used by members of Chevra Kadisha organizations in caring for the sick, the dying, and the dead.

Rebbetzin Judy Moss has been a blessing to our congregation. She is everywhere, working tirelessly on projects such as the Women’s Seder, Sisterhood fundraising, and the annual Gala. She welcomes new members, and lends a hand wherever needed.

We are delighted and grateful for this dynamic team’s devotion to our congregation.
