The winter Jewish holiday of Tu B'Shevat (15th Day of the Month of Shevat) is the New Year of the Trees, and coincides this year with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on January 17. In Israel, Tu B'Shevat is a time for planting trees, as the rainy season has passed mid-point and ground is considered fertile for new growth to take root.

Coinciding with Tu B'Shevat this year, we are welcoming Rabbi Richard Hirsh back to his roots at MLRT -- he first served our community as a teacher in our religious school and post-Conformation classes from 1976-78. More recently, he served as our Interim Associate Rabbi (2014-2015) and then Assistant Rabbi (2015-2017). Rabbi Hirsh has rejoined the clergy staff on a part-time basis to share in the rotation of teachers for Shabbat morning Torah Study and Thursday morning Bible Class. He will also be participating in some occasional Shabbat services, and on Wednesday afternoons will be working with our upcoming Bat and Bar Mitzvah students and their families in preparation for their services.

Rabbi Hirsh shares: "For three years, I had many wonderful experiences with the MLRT community and with my clergy colleagues and other friends on the staff. I am honored that Rabbi Newburge, Cantor Rudnick and Rabbi Kleinman have welcomed me to participate in the learning and liturgical life of the congregation with them, and I thank the lay leaders of the congregation for this invitation. I am also grateful to rejoin the MLRT community as it anticipates honoring my friend and teacher Rabbi David Straus on his forthcoming retirement."

Rabbi Hirsh served for over forty years in a number of Jewish agencies and congregations, primarily in Philadelphia, but also in Chicago and Toronto, where he has served for twenty-two years as a High Holiday Rabbi at Congregation Darchei Noam. For twelve years, he contributed the weekly Torah Portion Commentary to the Jewish Exponent. After twenty-three years in Penn Wynne, Rabbi Hirsh and his wife Barbara downsized in 2020, and now live in Bryn Mawr. Their son Nadav and his wife Maayan live in Seattle, and their daughter Shira lives in Chicago. ... See MoreSee Less

THRILLED to see Rabbi Hirsh return to MLRT!

Welcome home, Rabbi Hirsh!

Welcome back Rabbi!!

Today isn't just MLK Day, it is also Tu B'Shevat!
Look out for a VERY SPECIAL announcement coming later today, but for now... Enjoy this heartwarming recipe using some of the Seven Species that is perfect for this cold and gloomy Monday!

The Seven Species: Deuteronomy 8:8 tells us that Israel was “a land of wheat, barley, grapevines, figs, and pomegranates; a land of oil olives and date honey.”
The Beef and Mushroom Barley Soup recipe uses olives, grapes, and barley (and wheat if you pair it with a fresh loaf of bread!)
