Temple Beth El Mekor Chayim Welcomes Couple As New Rabbis
Husband and wife team bring new ideas to Cranford temple.
While not unprecedented, having a husband and wife jointly share a pulpit in a Conservative Jewish congregation is unusual. Temple Beth El Mekor Chayim is now being led by Rabbis Neil Tow and Rachel Schwartz. The two took on their duties in Cranford at the end of July. They sat down with Cranford Radio at the temple to discuss their new roles and their early impressions of Cranford.
