S. Dakota Jewish households open up to Brooklyn ‘Roving Rabbis’
Thursday’s in-home visit by two young rabbis from Brooklyn left Sioux Falls resident Aloma Graham with a sense of connection to her Jewish roots.
Rabbis Shmuel Lefkowits and Yosef Sharfstein, both 23, are part of a global community outreach training program called “The Roving Rabbis.” The men are in Sioux Falls visiting with members of the city’s small Jewish community to increase awareness of and passion for Judaism, the Argus Leader reported.
They are among hundreds of rabbinical students and young rabbis who spend their summer on the road across the world with a goal of making Judaism accessible and relevant to every Jew.
