Rabbi Stephen Listfield
Rabbi Stephen Listfield visits 9 times throughout the year. He comes to us on Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur; and for seven busy and fulfilling weekends. He leads Erev Shabbat and Shabbat morning Services. After the Shabbat Luncheon, he conducts a learning/study class. On, Sunday we have a brunch with time to chat with the Rabbi.
Rabbi Listfield lives in the Atlanta area, where he is retired. Sometimes his wife, Leslie, visits too.
Stephen Listfield earned a BA from Rutgers, where he was Phi Beta Kappa and graduated Magna Cum Laude. He continued his studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary, graduating in 1974 as the class valedictorian. He also studied at Princeton and at Yale Graduate School, as well as the Sorbonne in Paris and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Our rabbi has led congregations in Washington, DC, Florida, and Pennsylvania. He was a congregational rabbi both in his native New Jersey and in his “adopted” state of Alabama (Agudath Israel Etz Ahayem in Montgmery from 2002 through 2006).
