Today we’re talking with Fieldwork Support Seminar instructor Rabbi Linda Potemken.
Q1) Where do you live?
I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA.
Q2) What fills your time when you’re not teaching at AJRCA?
When I’m not teaching at AJRCA I’m serving as the senior rabbi at Congregation Beth Israel of Media (PA), teaching Mussar, savoring time with my family (spouse and 16 year old daughter) or playing the piano.
Q3) What is it about AJRCA that drew your interest to teaching at the Academy?
I’ve taught at the seminary where I trained and am excited to get to know a new community that embraces such a diverse student body.
Welcome Rabbi Potemkin!
