[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry I am 12:29 again.  Why the dislike for Rabbi Portnoy?  She was the reason we joined Sinai in the first place back when we didn't have kids.  I love all the clergy past and present.  Even Rabbi Roos' wife- Elizabeth is great.  And their kids!  I just love the whole community.  I am friends with members of all ages and social groups.  I really value having Temple Sinai in my life.[/quote]

She did the ultimate bad clergy thing. She repeated something I told her in confidence. Not only did she repeat it, she did it in a Reply All email that included me.

I have found her unwelcoming to interfaith couples. She is really promoting that the non-Jewish partner do things in a more Jewish way. Passover 101, anyone?  Her idea of interfaith couples does not include the non Jewish person. Yes, I recognize that she is Jewish and promoting Judaism is her job. The inter part of interfaith couples is just not on not on her radar. I don't find her funny, although many people do. I've spent hours talking to her about a project I was working on for the temple. She still introduces herself to me every time she sees me. She acts like she's never seen me before. The other clergy don't do that at all.

She was scheduled to do my son's bar mitzvah. I told the office that would not work. Rabbi Olean did it and it was wonderful.

I really like Jonathon and Jessica and Laura and Robyn. I thought Fred was great too.  [/quote]
