Rabbi Harvey M. Tattelbaum was appointed Rabbi Emeritus in July 2001, after serving Temple Shaaray Tefila for 33 years.
A native of Boston, Rabbi Tattelbaum graduated with honors from Harvard University and the Hebrew College of Boston University simultaneously. He received a traveling fellowship from the Hebrew College to study for a year at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Upon his return to the US, he entered the NY School of HUC-JIR from which he was ordained in 1960. He then served as a Navy Chaplain assigned to the Marines in Parris Island until 1962. His first congregation was Temple Shaaray Tefila from 1962 to 1965. After a short stint at the Village Temple, Rabbi Tattelbaum returned to Shaaray Tefila as Senior Rabbi in 1971.
Rabbi Tattelbaum served on the CCAR’s Chesed Committee, the Rabbinical Mentoring Committee, the Committee on Soviet Jewry, the Program Committee and the Executive Board. He has been the President of the New York Association of Reform Rabbis, an HUC-JIR faculty member, and an Adjunct Professor of Jewish Studies at Marymount College. Among his many community and worldwide activities, he was instrumental in the formation of the Yorkville Common Pantry (of which the Temple is a founder). He was sent by the World Union for Progressive Judaism to the former Soviet Union to nurture congregations there. |
