Children's author Rabbi Susan Abramson to discuss her work

Oct 4, 2015

The SouthCoast Jewish Speaker Series continues with another breakfast and guest speaker.

On Oct. 25 at 9:30 a.m., Tifereth Israel Congregation will host Rabbi Susan Abramson of Temple Shalom Emeth. Abramson has served as rabbi at the Burlington, Massachusetts temple since 1984. She is the longest-serving female rabbi in the state.

Abramson is a graduate of Brandeis University and received her doctorate from Hebrew Union College.

She is best known for her children’s book series, “Rabbi Rocketpower.” Her stories are loosely based on her own family and center on Jewish holidays.

Abramson’s newest book, “Challah: A Chewish Guide to the Torah,” is a cookbook, a weekly Torah guide and a colorful picture book.

The program and the breakfast are free. Tifereth Israel Congregation is located on the Dartmouth/New Bedford border at 145 Brownell Ave.
