Rabbi Marc Berkson
Rabbi Marc E. Berkson
Rabbi Marc E. Berkson and has been with us since 1999 and is only the congregation’s sixth senior rabbi since the merger of Emanu-El and B’ne Jeshurun in 1927. Active in a wide range of local and regional Jewish, inter-religious, and human relations programs and organizations, Rabbi Berkson brings his love of teaching and his community-building skills to Emanu-El B’ne Jeshurun. A native of Chicago and a graduate of Beloit College in Beloit, Wisconsin, Rabbi Berkson was ordained by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati in 1978. Following ordination, Rabbi Berkson served as rabbi of Temple Judea Mizpah in Skokie, IL. He is an avid bicyclist and railroad buff. The Rabbi (together with his wife, Debbie Carter Berkson, of blessed memory), has three children, Abigail, Jesse and Michal who is married to Jonny. Contact the Rabbi at rabbi@ceebj.org.
