Clergy and Staff

Rabbi
Rabbi Michelle Pearlman is the glue of our congregation. Members join Beth Chaim because of her magnetism, wisdom, approachability, sharp intellect, ability to deeply care, and propensity to work (and overwork) to make our congregation a sacred place. Beth Chaim faces challenges and has risen to every crisis because of her insistence on showing up with ruach (spirit) and integrity. She has helped us enhance BCRC as a place of learning, where we weave Judaism, our civil duties, social justice, and our Jewish values together and apply them to everything we do. Rabbi Pearlman has helped us understand the importance of participating routinely within the Reform Movement's more extensive world. She has helped us become who we are now and helps us keep visioning for an even better future within our neighborhood and beyond.
She would love to meet you in person!

Cantor Educator
Cantor Jenn Boyle joined Beth Chaim as their first cantor educator in July 2025 and serves as both the head of the Religious School/B Mitzvah program and as cantor and co-clergy alongside Rabbi Pearlman.
Prior to Beth Chaim, Cantor Boyle was the Education Director at Beth Am Israel in Penn Valley where she helped build Shorashim, an outdoor, nature-based Hebrew school. She earned her Masters in Jewish Education and was ordained as a cantor at Hebrew College in Boston. She is a member of the Association of Reform Jewish Educators and is excited to bring innovation and leadership to the Religious School and serve as a bridge between families with school-aged children and other members of Beth Chaim.
Cantor Boyle loves singing and working with choirs and plays guitar, ukulele, and viola.

Director of Operations
Robin Resnick is the connector, the doer, and the core of Beth Chaim. she is the first face and voice that visitors, members, and contractors will interact with at Beth Chaim. Without Robin, we would be full of great ideas but none of them would come to fruition. She is the multitasking superwoman who keeps us organized and keeps us on task. On top of all of that, she is kind, smart, eager, a fast learner, generous, and fun to be around!
