Who We Are

Board

TBI Executive Board/Board of Directors

Shalom,

As president of Temple Beth Israel, we are happy to electronically welcome you to the warmest, friendliest shul in Broward County. TBI has served the needs of our members and the community for over 50 years, but we are still the religious organization where everyone knows your name.

On behalf of our spiritual leader, Rabbi Hector Epelbaum, our professional staff, and our Board of Directors, we welcome you to Temple Beth Israel, and look forward to meeting you here soon!

Mimi Rotlewicz, Presidents

Mimi Rotlewicz – President

My family journey through Judaism has been long and varied. My Husband and I moved to Florida in 1981 and we spent the following 3 years in Miami. Our Colombian background gave us 20’s years of a conservative lifestyle while attending an orthodox synagogue.

Over the following 30 years we tasted just about every denomination of Judaism and finally we landed in Temple Beth Israel about 9 years ago.

What a pleasure. Not only does the services fit our lifestyle, but the warm and welcoming atmosphere was exactly what we needed to call out TBI congregation a home after our long journey.

IVAN RUIZ – Vice-President
