Rabbi Paul Caplan

The new millennium brought to Temple Anshe Sholom a new spiritual leader.  On July 15, 2000 Rabbi Paul Caplan came to us from Baltimore, Maryland where he served Beth Am Synagogue for three years and for ten years prior to that he was rabbi of Beth Shalom Synagogue in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  At both posts, Rabbi Caplan served with distinction.  His rabbinate is based on the foundations of God, Torah and Israel (both the People and the Land).  To enhance levels of observance and  commitment in these areas and others, Rabbi Caplan draws on Franz Rosensweig's "Ladder of Observance".

Donald N. Gluckman

Rabbi Donald Gluckman, our dedicated spiritual leader from 1980-2000, retired to become Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Anshe Sholom.   For the past 20 years Rabbi Gluckman supported social justice issues and counseled families and individuals in need of help.  As a teacher, Rabbi extended his knowledge to all ages from the Preschool to Adult Education Classes, as well as teaching the Confirmation Class of our High School Havurah.  Rabbi Gluckman also traveled with our high school students to Israel every three years.  We wish Rabbi and Judy many wonderful, healthy and satisfying years as they enjoy their retirement.

Cantor Lisa Doob joined the clergy team at Temple Anshe Sholom after receiving her Master of Sacred Music from Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion in 2001.  She feels that Jewish music has the power to create a sense of community, joy, and connection to Judaism in people aged 1 to 101! Cantor Doob co-officiates at religious services and life-cycle events; teaches 6th grade Hebrew School, K-8 Sunday School music, 9th grade High School Havurah, and trains young people for Bar and Bat Mitzvah; leads the youth and adult choirs; and teaches occasional adult education classes. In addition, some of Cantor Doob's children's and healing songs have been published by Transcontinental Music and Synagogue 2000.  Along with Rabbi Caplan and six other musical congregants, Cantor Doob is a member of TAS's Rock 'n Roll Shabbat band, the Red Sea Pedestrians
