Welcome
I am Rabbi Steven Moskowitz, the rabbi of Congregation L'Dor V'Dor, located on Long Island's North Shore but reaching beyond. My congregation's services, classes and programs meet at our home, 11 Temple Lane in Oyster Bay. I have been a rabbi since 1991, beginning my career at Manhattan's 92nd Street Y. I am married to Rabbi Susie Moskowitz (Senior Rabbi of Temple Beth Torah in Melville) and the father of two adult children, Shira and Ari. Every Summer I travel to Jerusalem to learn at the Shalom Hartman Institute where I serve as a Senior Rabbinic Fellow. I am also an avid triathlete.
Jews respond I am not the kind of Jew who haters hate. Some renounce Zionism. Others distance themselves from Jews who do not share their commitments. But such internal distinctions or philosophical debates are lost on antisemites. It’s the Jew who antisemites hate not the imagined “those other Jews” or “not my kind of Jew.”
