Rabbi Laura Harari

Rabbi Laura Schwartz Harari is Rabbi of Temple B’nai Israel in Jackson, Tennessee. Prior to her rabbinical studies at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Rabbi Harari filled a variety of roles, formal and informal, within Jewish education, for over twenty-five years.

Rabbi Harari has a daughter, Rabbi Carmit Harari, who currently serves Temple Beth Ora in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. To the best of their knowledge, they are the only mother-daughter duo to have studied for the rabbinate concurrently.

Rabbi Harari’s primary passion is helping others find meaning in being Jewish. She feels that the rabbinate is an excellent avenue for this. Her other passions include folk singing, guitar playing, and Israeli folk dance.

Shabbat services begin at 9:15 a.m. A light Kiddush lunch, sponsored by Gerhard Maschkowski and Edith and Dan Standler, will follow the service.

If you are interested in sponsoring a Midrash Shabbat Kiddush lunch, please speak with Norm Katz, Perry Arenson, or Rabbi Rosenthal.
