THE SUBURB WELCOMES

RABBI ANTHONY KNOPF

A New Community Director for Hampstead Garden Suburb Synagogue.

Rabbi Anthony Knopf joined Hampstead Garden Suburb Synagogue as the new Community Director, at the end of March 2007 . His appointment was unanimously approved by the Board of Management at its meeting on 6 March 2007. We are delighted to welcome him.

Originating from Manchester, Rabbi Knopf gained his BA in Theology and Religious Studies from the University of Cambridge in 2002. He then continued his studies at HaKotel, Darche Noam and Kol Yaakov Yeshivot in Israel. He gained his Semicha in Israel last year from Ohr Semayach and Kol Yaakov. Whilst this will be his first communal position as a Rabbi, he has had some communal experience in the community in which he grew up and in Bnei Akiva.

Rabbi Anthony Knopf was married on Sunday 11 March 2007. His new wife, Carly, teaches Jewish Studies at JFS and brings equally impressive experience and enthusiasm to kehilla life. They will be living within the Hampstead garden Suburb community which will enable them to integrate into the Community quickly.

In addition to assisting Rabbi Livingstone across the range of rabbinical duties, Rabbi Knopf's principal responsibility will be to develop and implement new social and educational programmes. These are intending to appeal to the whole community and especially to younger families. In the educational area his brief includes the extension of our programme of traditional learning and the introduction of new approaches, building on the skills and experience of members from all sections of our community. Rabbi Knopf will add an extra dimension to our professional team.

We believe that the appointment of Rabbi Knopf will significantly enhance the HGSS ministerial and professional team and help to ensure that HGSS will continue to be a warm and welcoming community and a centre of excellence within Anglo-Jewry

We are delighted to welcome Rabbi Anthony and Carla Knopf to the Community. We are sure they will find their time in the community rewarding, challenging and highly successful.
