Rabbi Mitchell M. Hurvitz’s 25 years of service to Temple Sholom (300 East Putnam, Greenwich, CT) will be celebrated with a special Silver Anniversary Gala on Saturday, January 25, 2020 at 7:30 pm at the Performing Arts Center at Purchase College.
Rabbi Mitch first joined the Temple Sholom family in 1995. At the time, he was completing his rabbinical training at the Jewish Theological Seminary, and was recruited by Rabbi Hillel Silverman (now Rabbi Emeritus) as Director of Education for the religious school, and as the Temple’s Youth Director. Within six years, he was named Assistant Rabbi, Associate Rabbi and lastly Senior Rabbi, a role that he has held since 2001.
Over the past two and a half decades, Rabbi Mitch has made a significant impact on the Temple Sholom community and beyond. As spiritual leader, he has celebrated with families under marriage chuppahs, officiated at baby namings and brit milot, comforted those who are ill, provided support during the loss of loved ones, and made a difference as an educator for both religious and nursery schools. He continues to be recognized as a scholar, activist and preacher – as well as a prominent religious leader in the Greenwich area – and is currently the President of the Greenwich Fellowship of Clergy, a position he has held several times.
