As announced in December, Rabbi Robert Nosanchuk shared his plan to retire from the congregational rabbinate during 2026. A recent Stage IV cancer survivor, he is hopeful in retirement to more fully embrace his “bonus time.” We’re so grateful for his leadership and ongoing commitment!
As we plan for the future and our next Senior Rabbi’s leadership, we are pleased to share the Senior Rabbinic Search Committee has been selected and is as follows:
Liza Adams
Linda Barnett
Ben Becker
Robert Blumstein
Jon Eisenberg
Ken Hochman
Debra Mayers Hollander (co-chair)
Keith Kerman
Shelley Milin Marcus
Kevin Margolis

These congregational members represent the wonderful breadth and depth of our congregation. Their dedication to our congregation, our community, the Reform Jewish movement and Judaism is steadfast, and they are excited to begin the important work of identifying the next senior leader of Congregation Mishkan Or and its clergy team.
If you have any questions for our Senior Rabbinic Search Committee, please send an email to: rabbisearch@mishkanor.org
Under the guidance of co-chairs, we envision multiple ways to gather congregational input. We will continue to keep you abreast of this committee’s work.

May 23, 2025 – On Friday, May 23, the Search Committee hosted its first listening session with the congregation at the Sparks of Light event preceding Shabbat services. Committee members joined more than 50 congregants for round table conversations that were insightful and energizing. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear directly from our fellow congregants and learn what they’re thinking about as we embark on this important rabbinic search process.
