Rabbi Pont's Torah Thoughts

RABBI PONT'S TORAH THOUGHTS

Shalom & welcome! Here is a little bit about me.... 

I am so glad that my Rabbinic journey led me to Marlboro Jewish Center.  Here my wife Natalie, our children Gabriel, Emma and Jordana, and our two dogs,Tommy and Luna,  enjoy the special relationships we have developed over the many years we have been here. It is hard for me to believe that I have been your Rabbi for more than a decade.

As your Rabbi, I play many roles. I am the spiritual leader of the Synagogue. I am a teacher in both the Hebrew School and our adult education programs. I am a counselor for those celebrating simachs, be it weddings, the birth of a child or grandchild, or a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. And I am a shoulder of comfort for those going through hardships such as the death of a loved one, a divorce or other major life change. 

In all of these roles, and many others, I take seriously my charge to help Marlboro Jewish Center be a place of compassion, caring and community that improves the Jewish lives of our members and the community at large.

To that end, I hope you will connect with me. Whether it is at services, in class, or just a meeting in my office, I would love to get to know you and your family. And if not, I hope you will check back here often for the latest Torah Thoughts and an episode of my podcast, For the Love of Judaism.
