Rabbi Joshua Lesser to retire from Atlanta s first gay synagogue

All those moments and more aside, Lesser cites guiding Congregation Bet Haverimâs young people among his proudest moments. âSupporting our children to find their authentic expression and create a model of Judaism that is loving, compassionate, and challenges the gatekeeping norms that too many congregations still adopt,â Lesser said.
