Our Clergy
We are delighted to have Rabbi Paul Offenkrantz as our regular Rabbi, leading our bi-weekly services and other holiday and lifecycle events, and to have Cantor Andrew Arnold joining us to lead our High Holy Days services.
Rabbi Paul
Rabbi Paul is ordained as both a rabbi and a cantor, and has a special talent for making our services accessible and meaningful for people of all different religious upbringings and Jewish practices. Clicking on his picture will take you to his personal webpage, where you can learn more about him.
Cantor Andrew
For the High Holy Days, we are “keeping it in the family” and introducing Cantor Andrew Arnold, the son of Cantor Malcom Arnold, as our Chazan. Andrew has served as a cantorial soloist all around the Broward County/Palm Beach County area, teaches religious school at Temple Shaarei Sholom in Boynton Beach, and has led High Holy Day services at the Boca Lago Golf and Country Club. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Jewish Studies and a Master’s in Jewish Education and Administration, and is currently a Rabbinic student at the Rabbinical Seminary International.
The rest of our team
The Liberal Jewish Temple of Coconut Creek has no paid staff. We're all volunteers. And clearly not web designers, either! You can contact anyone whose name is clickable for more information about us and about membership.
