A message from our new Rabbi, James D. Cohn “I’m
very happy that Wendie and I are making our home in Charleston. This
community offers a wonderful opportunity to blend so many things: the deep
roots of Jewish heritage, a historic commitment to its pluralistic and
inclusive interpretation, a wider Jewish and non-Jewish community that
cherishes religion and the interplay of religious organizations, a host of
social, civic, and academic resources, -- and most of all, the generosity of
spirit that makes this congregation so warm and welcoming. “I
promise to lend my abilities and energies to nourish the spiritual,
educational, and social aspects of my congregants’ lives, and to help meet
the communal needs in this region as a full and active participant. Of
course, most of all, Wendie and I look forward to forming bonds of lasting
friendship and affection with you that will be nurturing for us all.
We’re honored and grateful to be part of this congregational family.” Jim
