At the September 20, 2022 Temple Torat Emet Congregational Board Meeting, Ed Kochman announced to the Board of Directors that Florida Region FJMC President Blake Lenett appointed Torat Emet’s Rabbi Michael Klein as the Region’s Rabbinic and Spiritual Advisor. The appointment was gracefully accepted by Rabbi Klein.
“Rabbi Klein was appointed in part for his strong support for the Temple Torat Emet Men’s Club and the FJMC’s projects and endeavors“, said Ed Kochmen. “The Rabbi wrote a very supportive letter to the congregation in support of our Yom HaShoah Program, has been a strong supporter of our World Wide Wrap, Men’s Club Shabbat and most recently, the Club’s Torah on Tap program.“
