Rabbi Josh Warshawsky serves as the rabbi of Congregation Agudas Achim in Columbus, OH. He is a nationally touring Jewish musician, teacher, and composer who seeks to build intentional praying communities, and travels to synagogues, camps, and schools across the country sharing his music and teachings on prayer. He is originally from Chicago, and has released five albums of Jewish music.
Josh composes melodies to open up new possibilities for understanding the deep meaning of the words of our tradition. The Josh Warshawsky Anthology, the first ever collaboration between the ACC, The Cantors Assembly, and Transcontinental Publications, was released in August 2026. Warshawsky was ordained by the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles and lives in Bexley, OH with his wife Adina and their three children.

The Colker Klein Shapiro Memorial Fund was established in 1999 in memory of Marcy Colker Klein, and the family added their dear friend Barry Shapiro’s name after his passing in 2003. The families decided to sunset the Fund after Marcy’s mother, Dvorah Colker, passed away in 2025. This special weekend will be an opportunity to pay tribute to these extraordinary individuals who contributed tirelessly towards the betterment of Temple Beth Am and Pressman Academy.
