We are a Warm and Welcoming Conservative Congregation In Pepper Pike, Ohio
Rabbi Joshua Jacobs
Assistant Rabbi Joshua Jacobs
Rabbi Joshua Jacobs joined B’nai Jeshurun Congregation in 2023. He received his undergraduate degree from Emory University and his rabbinic ordination from the Ziegler School, during which time he became a Wexner fellow. Born in Los Angeles, he pursued writing for television, only to learn that each episode he wrote was a thinly veiled d’var Torah. He is especially passionate about the power of text study and divrei Torah to “comfort the agitated and agitate the comfortable” through deep and timeless Torah. He co-authored a chapter on Jewish approaches to end-of-life practices for a medical publication. At B’nai Jeshurun, he leads justice initiatives including sustainability, food insecurity, and criminal justice reform. He helped revive “The Sunshine Committee,” which facilitates social gatherings for senior members to help alleviate loneliness. He is rabbi for “The Bridge,” Cleveland’s Jewish young professionals group, and founded a newlyweds group called “Beshert.” He is married to his beshert, Rabbi Alex Rosenbaum. They are proud parents of a daughter, Noa, and a shepherd-mix, Tula.
