Meet Rabbi Tuffs, our innovative and caring spiritual leader who joined Temple Beth El of Hollywood in 1997. He values preserving Jewish tradition while remaining open to new ideas, and his inspiring, thoughtful, and wise nature has made him beloved by his congregants and community. We are excited that after a 4 year hiatus, Rabbi Allan will be actively re-joining us as Co-Clergy with Cantor Manny, and also to assist us in long-range planning initiatives that will include guiding us in our actions once we re-commence a search for our next, long-term Rabbi. Rabbi will be leading study classes, assisting with life-cycle events, the High Holy days and much more. Rabbi’s love of music and social action causes resonate with many in our community and we look forward to implementing some great programs together in 2026-27.
