Raised in a traditional Conservative home in Connecticut, Rabbi Adam Kligfeld brings to his work as Senior Rabbi Temple Beth Am in Los Angeles, California a commitment to Jewish ritual, his love for Israel, his enthusiasm for Jewish education and teaching Torah, and a devotion to creating community that is as spiritually mindful and enriching as it is kind and mutually empathic.
Rabbi Kligfeld came to Beth Am in 2009 after serving for 9 years at Congregation Eitz Chaim in Monroe, NY where he reinvigorated Eitz Chaim’s Kabbalat Shabbat service, turning it into a spirited Carlebach-style approach to davvening, and revamped the Bnei Mitzvah program in order to teach all students the ongoing skills for reading Torah and serving as shaliah tzibbur on Shabbat. Over a four-year span, Rabbi Kligfeld helped Eitz Chaim to envision, plan and ultimately implement their dream of constructing a brand new synagogue building, placed strategically in the center of several residential neighborhoods in Monroe, fostering growth, and an even greater sense of a local Shabbat community.
In his decade of service to Beth Am, Rabbi Kligfeld has spearheaded major efforts to reinvent the prayer experience in the community, both viz. the content and music of the service, and also regarding the space itself. Beth Am’s newly designed, in-the-round, bathed-in-natural-light sanctuary will open in 2019, and will be a fitting incubator for the new modes of tefilah that have been born in the community in the last few years: The Shabbat morning Hama’alot service, which is an intentional, minute-by-minute curated service that has subsequently been the model for similar services being created in other synagogues; and Sovev, the Friday-night experience, built off of some of the newest and most enriching niggunim and liturgical music being composed in the Jewish community, and which uses in-the-round seating, an inner circle of Sovevim to create energy and harmony, and interwoven kavannot to bring out the deeper meaning of the prayers. Rabbi Kligfeld, along with his fellow clergy, are thrilled to share these developments and successes with colleagues and peers as communities around the country reinvigorate their prayer experiences.
Rabbi Kligfeld teaches regularly in the Pressman Academy Day School and Religious School, along with being a teacher and story-teller in the ECC. In addition to teaching a regular, weekly class on Humash with Rashi, Rabbi Kligfeld teaches throughout the Rabbi Joel Rembaum Institute for Adult Education and Family Programming.
Rabbi Kligfeld is an active member of the Board of Rabbis of Southern California, a graduate of the Hartman Institute’s Rabbinic Leadership Initiative, and is a newly-appointed rabbinic mentor in the CLI (Clergy Leadership Incubator) directed by Rabbi Sid Schwarz. One of his passions is building bridges and connections within the Jewish community, and he has been instrumental in organizing joint events for Selichot, Shavuot and Tisha B’Av bringing together members from myriad local congregations from a variety of denominations. Rabbi Kligfeld is also deeply committed to interfaith work, and is proud of recent communal partnerships and friendships created with local Muslim communities, including organizing a series of Shabbat dinners coinciding with Iftar meals to end Ramadan fasts.
Rabbi Kligfeld served on the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Conservative Movement for ten years, and in that capacity stimulated a process of self-review for the CJLS that culminated in a series of recommendations for its future work and progress.
Rabbi Kligfeld is a 1995 graduate of Columbia College, magna cum laude, with a degree in psychology and Jewish history. He was ordained as a rabbi in 2000 by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, with a focus on Talmud.

Written by Rabbi Jacob Pressman
For 25 years, beginning in July, 1985, Rabbi Joel E. Rembaum served as Senior Rabbi of Temple Beth Am in Los Angeles, California. He is now Rabbi Emeritus. Following his ordination as Rabbi in 1970 at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in New York City, Rabbi Rembaum returned to his native Los Angeles where he pursued studies at U.C.L.A. in Jewish history. He was awarded a Ph.D. in History by U.C.L.A. in 1975. Rabbi Rembaum also holds the degrees of B.A. and M.A. from U.C.L.A., the degrees of Master of Hebrew Literature and Doctor of Divinity, Honoris Causa, from the Jewish Theological Seminary and the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa, from the American Jewish University. While an undergraduate at U.C.L.A. he also studied Judaica at the American Jewish University (then the University of Judaism).
From 1970 to 1985 Rabbi Rembaum served on the faculty and administration of the American Jewish University, advancing to the positions of Dean of Undergraduate Studies and Associate Professor of Jewish History. He was a Visiting Assistant Professor at U.C.L.A. and U.C. Irvine. From 1994-1997 he taught for the Wexner Heritage Foundation, and from 2001-2007 he served on the faculty of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies. He has received a number of graduate and research fellowships and participated in the Melton Research Institute Seminar in Jewish History. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Association for Jewish Studies and has presented papers to that and other learned societies. Rabbi Rembaum has published a variety of articles in the field of Jewish history and has lectured widely throughout the United States.
As a member of the Rabbinical Assembly Committee on Jewish Law and Standards for twenty years, Rabbi Rembaum authored the paper that served as the basis for the inclusion of the Biblical Matriarchs (Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah) in the Amidah prayer, the central element of Jewish liturgy. The Conservative Movement’s Sim Shalom series of siddurim (prayer books) and their companion Or Hadash prayer book include the addition, and it has been widely accepted in the Conservative community.
Rabbi Rembaum has been involved in Camp Ramah in California since 1955, first as a camper, then as Counselor, Division Head, Camp Rabbi/Professor-in-Residence and member of both the Board of Directors and the Standing Committee of Camp Ramah in California. He served as President of the Pacific Southwest Region of the Rabbinical Assembly, National Secretary of the Rabbinical Assembly, President of the Board of Rabbis of Southern California, Chair of the Middle East Commission of the Jewish Community Relations Committee of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation and member of the Board of Directors of the Jewish Federation. He was Chair of Los Angeles’ Israel Bonds Rabbinic Cabinet and Chair of the Executive Committee of the National Rabbinic Cabinet of Israel Bonds. In 1997, Rabbi received the Mickey & Edna Weiss Foundation grant for study in Israel at the Shalom Hartman Institute.
Soon after his appointment at Beth Am, Rabbi Rembaum spearheaded a reform of the synagogue’s education system and worked with the congregation’s lay and professional leadership to create the Rabbi Jacob Pressman Academy. The Academy is known for its unique umbrella educational system, in which a Solomon Schechter Day School, a Religious School and an Early Childhood Center work in a coordinated fashion to offer outstanding educational programming to a combined student body that has grown to well over 600 students. The congregation’s United Synagogue Youth chapter grew and flourished and is recognized for its excellence. A massive building project was undertaken and completed, providing the Beth Am community with a new school facility and expanded synagogue activity and office space. New adult and family learning and experiential programs offered a wide range of opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. Year in and year out, Rabbi Rembaum has been teaching in all facets of Beth Am’s educational programming.
During the Rembaum years a third regular Shabbat morning service was added, as well as new Friday evening worship experiences, including a weekly Carlebach-style minyan. And, social action activity grew, with expanded mitzvah projects, Israel related activities, including regular synagogue trips to Israel, and environmental awareness programs.
Rabbi Rembaum lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Fredi, herself a respected and well known Jewish communal professional. The Rembaums have four children: Yona, Avi, married to Sharon Isaac, Nomi, married to Israel Feuerstein, and Joshua, married to Amsel Zivkovich. They also have eight grandchildren: Itai, Dani and Ella Rembaum; Ilan, Uri and Maayan Eshkenazi; and Noah and Ayla Feuerstein.
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Rabbi Silverstein is a direct descendent of the Ba’al Shem Tov and the tenth generation of an unbroken chain of rabbis. His family came to Los Angeles in 1935 where his father , Rabbi Osher Zilberstein, became rabbi of the Breed Street Shule in Boyle Heights and later became the Chief Orthodox Rabbi of Los Angeles.
Rabbi Silverstein received his B.A. from UCLA and in 1953 was ordained and received an M.H.I. degree at the Jewish Theological Seminary, which also awarded him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree in 1979. He served as a chaplain in the United States Air Force during the Korean War. Upon discharge in 1955, he served as rabbi in Lakewood and Lancaster, and was principal of the Hebrew School at B’nai Tikvah Congregation in Westchester. During this time, he served as auxiliary chaplain at George and Edwards Air Force Bases and as chaplain for the Jewish inmates at the Mira Loma facility and the Sheriff’s Wayside Honor Rancho.
For 32 years, he was the associate rabbi and director of education at Temple Beth Am from 1959 until his retirement in 1991. He conducted the auxiliary High Holy Days services at Temple Isaiah in Palm Springs for 12 years after his retirement.
Rabbi Silverstein earned his California State Teaching Credential and was accredited by the Los Angeles Bureau of Education. He also served as treasurer of the Western States region of the Rabbinical Assembly for twenty years.
He has always been a true rabbi of the people. He says, “I treat each congregant and community member with the same respect and love I show my own family. I serve the members in their religious needs in such areas as Hatch, Match, Detach, and Dispatch.”
Rabbi Silverstein instructed thousands of students during his 38 years as chaplain, rabbi, and religious school director. Second and third generations refer to him as the rabbi who gave joy from the fact that four of his students have become rabbis and two students have become cantors. They are all serving in congregations at the present time. His contributions to the yiddushkeit of so many has been both key to the transmission of our heritage and an inspiration for other rabbis and Jewish educators.
In June of 1961 he was married to Kay Prager. They are blessed with three sons: Alan, David, and Robert; and three grandchildren: Natalie, Nathan, and Alexis.
Not long after his arrival in the United States, young Samuel Kelemer was engaged to appear in Carnegie Hall on a “Night Of Stars” program with Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, George Jessel and other headliners. Watching Jolson drop to one knee and croon “Mammy” inspired Shmiliki who went on stage, dropped to one knee, his arms flung wide and sang “A Brivele Der Mamme” (A Letter to Mother). The house thundered until the boy rose, held his hand up for silence, and delivered “Adam Y’sodo Meafat” from the High Holy Day Service. The same acuity guided him unaided through the first talkies in Yiddish, “A Yiddishe Marnme,” “Persecution,” and “Kol Nidre,” three films that encircled the globe.
Trained by great cantors, including Cantors Weisser, Katchko, and Beimel, he was a scholarship student for advanced studies in voice at the Julliard School of Music. Profoundly educated in the Jewish tradition, Cantor Kelemer received rabbinic ordination from several distinguished rabbis. His gifts led him to prominence in many areas. He served 2s the first National Vice-President of the American Conference of Cantors and has been a member of the National Board of the Jewish Music Council.
Cantor Kelemer served on the faculty of the School of Fine Arts at the University of Judaism and was assistant to Max Helfman in the early years of Brandeis Camp Institute. He has appeared frequently on the concert stage as a lecturer and performer, and appeared in a number of films. He is a prolific composer of liturgical music and of settings for Yiddish poems, and is an authority on the subject of Yiddish folksongs.
He has graced the bima of hundreds of synagogues in guest appearances. Before coming to settle in Los Angeles, Cantor Kelemer served both Conservative and Reform congregations in Miami Beach. In Los Angeles, he faithfully served Temple Beth Am for more than thirty years where he continues as Cantor Emeritus. In 1998 the Jewish Theological Seminary granted him the degree of Doctor of Music Honoris Causa for his more than seventy years of extraordinary service as shaliach tzibbur, teacher, composer, role model, intellectual, poet, concert artist, movie actor, hero and mensch.
The American Conference of Cantors was proud to have Cantor Samuel Kelemer as an honorary charter member and deemed him a Living Treasure.
The Cantor’s wife, Linda, resides in Marina del Rey. They were blessed with two wonderful sons, Dov Kelemer, a Film producer/director and David Akiba, a mortgage/real estate broker, wife Stacy and grandchildren Dylan and Amy.
