To provide you with a basic overview, my Speaker’s Tour will include:
· Speaking at several congregations in Washington, D.C.; New York; Phoenix; and San Francisco.
· Meeting with the Religious Action Center (RAC) staff, synagogue staffs, and religious school communities.
· Visiting Hillel locations, including UCSB and Gallaudet University.
· Leading a workshop for the Women’s Rabbinic Network in the Washington, D.C. area.
· Visiting synagogues as an ambassador for TAE.
In addition to the Speaker’s Tour, my objective is to bring back new ideas for programming and worship experiences, and to let others know who we are: the vibrant Jewish community of Temple Adat Elohim. This will be an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime journey; and I want to share this entire experience with you. How? Join me on my blog, www.rebeccadubowe.blogspot.com as I reflect on my travels, my visits, and the variety of experiences encountered within the different Jewish communities.
A significant part of my journey is really the one within the Temple Adat Elohim community. Thirteen years ago – with courage and support – you graciously opened the doors to invite me to become one of TAE’s spiritual leaders. My sincere hope is that you will participate in the blog, and share your comments and feedback with me as this new journey begins … because your presence in my life has greatly influenced who I am today.
Thank you all for your ongoing encouragement and for allowing me to experience this remarkable opportunity. I look forward to “blogging” with you!

L’Shalom,
Rabbi Rebecca L. Dubowe
