We are delighted to introduce visiting clergy, Rabbi Eytan Kenter, alongside OZ’s Cantor Silverberg in leading our High Holiday services.
Rabbi Kenter was born and raised in Westchester, New York. Educated at Columbia University, he received his ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary in 2009. Rabbi Kenter has served Congregation B’nai Torah in Atlanta, Georgia and Kehillat Beth Israel in Ottawa, Ontario. Presently, he is Camp Director at Camp Ramah in the Berkshires.
Here’s a lovely short video on the Camp Ramah site introducing Rabbi Kenter.
