Governor’s Scholars Tour Temple

/in , /by

On Thursday, July 18, Rabbi Rapport and his son Lev hosted over 40 students from the Governor’s Scholars program at Bellarmine University. They toured our prayer spaces and archives, asked questions about Judaism, and learned about Jewish mindfulness.

Rabbi Rapport has served the congregation since 1988. He teaches in a variety of adult education classes, as well as teaching the Religious School’s sixth grade class and the High School of Jewish Studies, guiding The Temple Confirmation Class, and working closely with Bar and Bat Mitzvah students. Each summer, he works with Jewish children during a two-week session at Goldman Union Camp Institute in Zionsville, Indiana. He oversees many congregational programs, serving as rabbinic liaison for the Brotherhood, the Temple Archives, and the Building Committee, among others. In all of these areas, he brings a particular commitment to social action and Tikkun Olam – repairing the world.

Brotherhood Distillery Tour at Peerless Distilling

The Temple Brotherhood visited Peerless Distilling, one of downtown Louisville’s newest distillers,  on June 12. Carson Taylor, president and fifth generation, gave us a historical account of Peerless’s founding by his great, great grandfather Henry Kraver, a Jewish immigrant from Poland. The original distillery was started in 1889. After a tour of the distillery and rikhouse, we tasted four different ryes then enjoyed a brisket dinner catered by Chef Z.  Thank you all so much for making our Brotherhood Distillery Tour a success!

The Temple Brotherhood financially supports Chavurat Shalom, Youth Group TILTY, Camp GUCI Scholarships, Trager Early Child Education Center, College Outreach Programs, JFCS Food Pantry, B’nei Mitzvah Bibles, Confirmation Kiddush Cups, New Member Welcome Baskets, Adopt a Family, Jewish Film Festival, Habitat for Humanity, and the Softball Team.
