Please join us next Shabbat. October 27, 2018 as we welcome our next scholar-in-residence, Rabbi Dr. Mark Trencher. Rabbi Trencher had a 43-year executive business career, while being involved in the Jewish community in various lay leadership roles. In 2015, he founded Nishma Research, which conducts research in the Jewish community. Nishma conducted the first quantitative survey of people who have left Orthodoxy (2016) and the first broad survey of the American Modern Orthodox community (2017). Nishma’s mission is to provide quality research that benefits the Jewish community, and to do at least 50% of its work on a pro-bono basis. Rabbi Trencher will be speaking Shabbat morning at approximately 10:45 AM on the topic, “What Brings People to Orthodoxy.” His Shabbat afternoon shiur will be at 4:45 PM and is titled, “Ten Surprising Findings About American Modern Orthodoxy.”
