meaningful relationships. Within
six months, Rabbi Klass has en-
riehed the Temple Beth El eom

Rabbi Klass has offieiated at life-
eyele events, offering inspiration
through her thoughtful expression
of Judaism. She has imparted wis
dom beyond her years by truly lis
tening to eongregants of all ages.
Listening and eommitment to so-
eial justiee are two of Klass’ pas
sions. For Justiee Shabbat
(January 13-14), Rabbi Klass and
the Tzedek Conned invited the
Charlotte eommunity to Temple
Beth El to listen and understand
the events that ehallenged and
broke the hearts of Charlotteans in
September 2016. She faeilitated
diseussions to build strong eon-
neetions of eoalition aeross lines
of raee, faith and differenee.

beeause of its eommitment to
Torah study, to God-taUc, to soeial

in whieh members take note of

“seeks to be a warm, weleoming.
Rabbi Paul Kipnes
eompassionate presenee in the
lives of his eongregants and their
families, hoping to ereate a syna
gogue home whieh makes them
feel warmly weleomed; always
striving to be aeeessible, ap-
proaehable and inspiring.”

of spirituality in parenting and to
share his words of Mazel Tov on
