I was originally a member of one shul and he became the rabbi there after the previous rabbi left. Rabbi Finkelstein was the rabbi for my brother's Bar Mitzvah and when it was time for Rabbi Finkelstein to move to Temple Emanuel, my family and I followed him. I was also fortunate to become friendly with his wife and three wonderful children. Their family welcomes you with open arms anytime. I wish the family all my best!

I hope you find your own beshert soon :). Clearly, the respectful Rabbi considers the increasing number of Jewish singles, to be a major subject that must be addressed. Jewish spiritual leaders, can really make a difference, just by emphesizing the importance of forming many Jewish homes, and not be afraid to use everthing this generation has to offer, to achieve this goal. One thing I wish more Rabbis would educate congregatios about, is the importance of good old fashioned matchmaking, which many people, especially married couples, would rather avoid.
