Rabbi Research Committee Final Report
Congregation Sha'are Shalom's Rabbi Research Committee (RRC) was  formed in the summer of 2006 as a preliminary step in furtherance of our congregation's goal of hiring our first full-time rabbi. During the past year, our committee has conducted surveys, moderated focus groups and had discussions with many individual congregants to ascertain their opinions on issues related to our congregation itself and their hopes regarding our first full-time rabbi. A final report reflecting our findings and general recommendations is now available for review, as well as the results of the survey.
