Honoring Rabbi Susan Grossman
Identified by the New York Jewish Week and The Forward as one of 45 Jewish leaders to watch in the 21st century and honored as a Woman of the Year by Jewish Woman magazine, Rabbi Grossman has broken the stained-glass ceiling numerous times in her career. A member of the first class of women accepted into the rabbinical school of Jewish Theological Seminary, she was the first woman to lead a synagogue both in Westchester, New York (Genesis Agudas Achim Congregation) and here in Howard County, Maryland. She joined Beth Shalom Congregation in 1997. Her 33 years of service in the pulpit, including 25 years of service at Beth Shalom, sets her as one of the longest serving female pulpit rabbis in the Conservative Movement and one of the first to become Emerita when she retires as of July 1, 2022.
Rabbi Grossman was appointed to the prestigious Committee on Jewish Law and Standards (CJLS) of the Conservative Movement in 1992. One of the first women and, for many years the only woman to serve on it, she is also one of the longest serving members of the CJLS.
