Rabbi Julie Roth arrived at Shomrei Emunah in August 2022 with her husband Rabbi Justus Baird, and their three children, Ilan, Rafael, and Noa. Guided by the central teaching that each and every human being is beloved, infinitely valuable, and unique, her calling as a rabbi is to connect each person with the piece of Torah, Jewish experience, or community that will help them live their lives as a sacred gift.

Rabbi Julie’s sermon for Yom Ha’atzmaut (Parshat Tazria-Metzorah), May 3, 2025

This past Wednesday night, if you weren’t celebrating Yom Ha’atzmaut at the rabbis’ house, you were missing out. The celebratory vibe started when you parked your car a few blocks away and then entered a shuk-inspired party in honor of Israel’s 77^th birthday. (more…)
