Meet our Rabbi!
Rabbi Netanel Kaszovitz arrived at NHC one year ago from Migdal Oz, Israel along with his wife Avital and their daughter Tzofia. He was ordained at the Ohr Torah Stone Rabbinic school where he participated in a special program designed for Rabbinic leaders in the diaspora. He is an admirer of Rav Shlomo Carlebach and incorporates many of his tunes and songs into our lively Kabbalat Shabbat services. Rav Netanel had a BA in Psychology and Education from the Open University of Israel and serves as the teacher for our Hebrew School here at NHC.
When he is not on the job, you will probably find him playing guitar or making tie dye!

We have all been witness to the disasters that are taking place in Ukraine in recent times. As a Jewish community that is committed to the Jewish value of Chessed, we feel a strong commitment to helping those in need. On Purim we have a special Mitzvah or commandment to give Matanot L'evyonim, or money to those in need. It is therefore appropriate that at this time we have decided to partner with the Jewish organization of NATAN Worldwide Disaster Relief to raise critical funds in order to help their efforts on the ground. We will be collecting until March 17th when we will transfer the funds to them. We hope that you will join us in this campaign and donate what you can to enable their continued life-saving work that is being carried out everyday.

known as Shmuel Ben Abraham, and this is his story.

With anti-Semitism on the rise again, this is relevant now more than ever. What can we do to change this?

It is not enough to hope for redemption, we must be the catalyst for it.
