Our Clergy
Rabbi Bradley Tecktiel
Building a better world is important to Rabbi Bradley Tecktiel who works with congregants as they head up several Tikkun Olam projects each year. Rabbi Tecktiel, who teaches the 7th - 12th Grade Ma'ayan class, can often be found in the Religious School and Early Childhood Center classrooms and Youth Lounge working directly with the students and USYers. His office door is not only open to the congregation, but to the children of the congregation as well. Teens and pre-teens often drop by to say hello, keeping him updated on their activities at school, sharing ideas and thoughts on the community and current events. Visiting the sick, sharing life cycle events, counseling congregants, and officiating at shabbat and holiday services puts Rabbi Tecktiel in daily contact with the congregation.
Cantor Raquel Pomerantz Gershon
Jewish music has always been one of Cantor Gershon’s greatest passions. Coming from a family of rabbis, cantors and educators, it was almost inevitable that she would become a Jewish professional. In addition to her many years of teaching music, tefillah and Judaica, and her vast experience as a prayer leader and lifecycle officiant, she is an award winning composer of contemporary Jewish music who has performed around the USA, Israel and beyond.
