Rabbi Boaz Marmon

Rabbi Boaz Marmon is the son of Rabbi Elliott Marmon, his predecessor at Congregation Shaaray Tefila.  In earlier life, Rabbi Marmon (Junior) has been a Signals Intelligence analyst and Iraqi Arabic linguist in the United States Army and earned a degree in Computer Engineering at Old Dominion University.   Rabbi Marmon has been active as a Jewish educator and leader in various settings and roles since 1991.  In recent years, he has been Director of the Temple-Synagogue Religious School (the interdenominational religious school of the Glens Falls Jewish Community) and served as a High Holy Day cantor at historic Anshei Gerim Synagogue in Burlington, Vermont.  Rabbi Marmon is a seminarian at the Academy for Jewish Religion in Riverdale, New York.

Rabbi Marmon strives to maintain a welcoming atmosphere and traditional ambiance at Congregation Shaaray Tefila.  He believes a synagogue should be a house of prayer, learning, community, and fun.  We are bound together by Torah, mitzvot, Israel, history, heritage, and all too often by others’ prejudices.  We are, as Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan wrote, a civilization.  But more fundamentally we are a family.  As our sages teach, “All Israel are responsible for one-another.”  At Congregation Shaaray Tefila, our goal is for all our members, friends, and guests to feel part of the family.
