RABBI JACK MOLINE NAMED
IN THE TOP 3 PULPIT RABBIS OF THE U.S.
As members of Agudas Achim, we are honored to have Jack Moline as our Rabbi. We are touched by his sensitivity in times of grief, by his counsel when we face challenges in our lives, and by his dedication to interfaith and social justice issues. We have also been highly entertained by his wit. I am delighted to share with everyone that Rabbi Moline has now received national recognition as one of the top 25 pulpit Rabbis in the United States. In fact, he is third on the list of 25 published by Newsweek. In addition to the recognition that Rabbi Moline receives, the publicity brings wonderful visibility to Agudas Achim Congregation. Mazel Tov to our Rabbi ! Please see the Newsweek link -- http://www.newsweek.com/id/131598/
