Profiles / Rabbis & Rebbetzans / Howard Lifshitz
My family came to Congregation Beth Judea in Long Grove when I was just a toddler, almost 25 years ago. There, I met some of my very best friends and fell in love with Judaism and Jewish learning. Sitting in the seats of the sanctuary looking up at the bimah feels like home to me. 

The cadence of Rabbi Howard Lifshitz's voice while he delivers a sermon is both familiar and comforting—as are his words. He officiated at my bat mitzvah over 13 years ago, and in just next month, he and Cantor Roger Weisberg, also of Beth Judea, will officiate at my wedding. 

After 30 years of service as our spiritual leader, Rabbi Howard Lifshitz will retire June 30. 

Moving forward, though we as a congregation won't get to hear the familiar cadence of his sermons quite as often, the community that he built will remain strong and vibrant. I feel fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to sit down and chat with Rabbi Lifshitz leading up to his retirement—learning more about his personal life, his hopes for the future of the congregation and the Conservative movement and his plans as he moves on to the next stage of his life.
