Fred Scherlinder Dobb has been the Rabbi of Adat Shalom Reconstructionist Congregation since 1997, when he graduated from the RRC (with Toba Spitzer and numerous other fabulous leaders in our movement); in that time the synagogue has built an "EPA Energy Star Award" permanent home, doubled in membership, and maintained its creative and communal edge. Fred has also been the long-time Reconstructionist representative to the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, serving as its first staff rabbi while on sabbatical in 2003-04. He is the immediate past President of the Washington Board of Rabbis, Moment Magazine's Reconstructionist "ask the" rabbi, and chair of Greater Washington Interfaith Power & Light, among other interfaith and communal roles.
