INTRODUCING OUR NEW RABBI
"RABBI ALTY"
Rabbi Alty Weinreb is both a rabbi and a cantor. He brings music, joy and scholarship into his services that engage the entire family.
He draws from Hasidic, Israeli, and World Music traditions, as well as from contemporary music. He is a singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist. His love of music fills his spiritual life and constitutes a vital and substantial part of his Shabbat and Holiday services. He seamlessly merges modernity with tradition.
Rabbi Alty comes from a background of “Black Hat” Yeshivas and Hassidic synagogues. After attending High School at Mirrer Yeshiva in Brooklyn, he spent an additional four years at the St. Louis Rabbinical College where he received a Bachelor of Judaic Studies, and Rabbinic Ordination from Dean Rabbi Yitzchak Kleinman. Rabbi Alty attended Yeshiva University’s Belz School of music earning a BA in Cantorial Studies. He prepared many Bar and Bat Mitzvah students from Day Schools, Public Schools and Hebrew Schools, while making it fun for them to learn. Rabbi Alty has brought his compassionate Jewish spirit to pastoral care, life-cycle events and children’s choirs. Check out these videos:

Prior to joining us at Temple of the High Country, Rabbi Alty served as Cantor at the Congregation Shirat Hayam of Swampscott, MA, Temple Hillel in North Woodmere NY and Highland Park Temple in Highland Park NJ.
Rabbi Alty brings incredible energy, gentle wisdom and a deep commitment to Jewish values and Jewish learning. Together with his wife, Elizabeth, he hopes to create a happy and spiritual home for the entire Temple of the High Country community.

The Caring Committee
Do you know a member of the congregation who is ill, grieving, or has had a life cycle event occur? Please let us know.
The Caring committee is available to help our temple members in need. We will provide occasional transportation to temple services and events and will assist ill members with grocery shopping and other small errands as needed. Occasionally, we may make Shiva calls, hospital and home visits to those who are elderly or sick.
Since we are volunteers, we cannot provide these services on a regular basis, but if possible we will provide referrals to community agencies in the area as needed.
We are here to help you. Please contact:
The Temple of the High Country-Schaefer Jewish Community Center
828-266-9777
templeofthehighcountry@gmail.com
*** Assistance will be provided if volunteers are available ***
The next few months may prove to be difficult, and we want you to know that as a member of our community, you are not alone.
You are never more than a phone call away from a friendly visit, phone call or provisions.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you again later this spring.
May you and your loved ones be blessed with good health!
