When Rabbi Emeritus Charles A. Klein retired from the Merrick Jewish Centre in October 2021, after 43 years with the congregation, a legacy fund was created in the name of Klein and his wife, Betty, to honor their service to the Merrick and Bellmore Jewish community.
Though Senior Rabbi Joshua Dorsch began his journey as the spiritual leader of the Merrick Jewish Centre last summer, he was officially installed last Saturday in a ceremony full of love, laughter, memories and hope at the synagogue.
