Rabbi Reuven Silverman

Rabbi Ronald N. “Reuven” Silverman 1/7/2025 - 7 Tevet 5785 Congregation Beth Sholom   

Rabbi Silverman has been a Spiritual Leader of three Synagogues over the last 40 years. His first pulpit was at Temple Shalom of Deltona during the 1980’s, then an Associate of Rabbi Pinchas at Chabad of Daytona through the 1990’s and then Rabbi of Temple Israel of Deland for the past seventeen years. He is an Honors graduate of the University of Illinois and received Rabbinical Ordination and Smicha from Rabbi Blane of The Jewish Spiritual Leaders Institute of Synagogue Sim Shalom, in New York.

Being The Rabbi of Temple Israel of Deland and serving the Jewish community of DeLand and surrounding areas for the past seventeen years has been a great honor and privilege for him. During his time at Temple Israel, he expanded synagogue life to include not only Friday night services, but also Saturday morning services, numerous classes, Shabbaton weekends, two trips to Israel, and individual guidance and counseling to members including the officiating at Life Cycle Events for the whole community.

It is exciting for Rabbi Silverman and his wife, Renee to come to the homey and welcoming environment of Congregation Beth Sholom. It just felt beshert from the very beginning. The Rabbi wants you to know that Judaism is a wonderful work in progress. It is the greatest self-awareness program ever invented. Whether you're Jewish by birth, Jewish by conversion or just want to learn the ways of Judaism, “I am your Rabbi. Write to me, call me, introduce yourself to me and just get to know me. Let us learn Torah together and find our way to the love of God and the principles of life that are altogether righteous and good.” Rabbi Silverman Rabbisil1818@gmail.com C.386-747-0644
