Rabbi Jared Saks is a 2005 graduate of HUC-JIR in New York City. In addition to participating in services and life cycle events, Rabbi Saks focuses on our younger congregants--from working with our youth programs to doing outreach for college students to engaging 20- and 30-somethings in Temple life.

Rabbi Saks grew up in Long Valley, a small town in Northwestern New Jersey. He graduated cum laude from Florida State University with a double major in Religion and Spanish. During rabbinic school, he served in his student pulpit at Beth Yehuda Synagogue in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania.

Youth engagement has been a large part of Rabbi Saks's experience. He spent the summers of 2001, 2002 and 2003 at the Henry S. Jacobs Camp in Mississippi and was the Youth Advisor at Temple Emanu-El in Edison, New Jersey, for three years.
