Rabbi Knopf is presently the rabbi for Temple Beth-El Richmond, where he has served for almost 10 years. Named one of “America’s Most Inspiring Rabbis” by The Forward, he is passionate about building an inclusive, supportive, and deeply intertwined community, where the enduring power and truths of the Jewish tradition come alive for people of all backgrounds, ages, and stages.
Rabbi Knopf holds degrees from Columbia University (History, Cum Laude), the Jewish Theological Seminary (Talmud and Rabbinics, Magna Cum Laude), and the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies (Master of Arts in Rabbinic Studies, Rabbinic Ordination), where he received the Eliezer Slomovic Award in Talmud.
On the lighter side, he’s a pop culture buff, political junkie, and enjoys movies, traveling and pizza.

The schedule of weekend activities will be sent out shortly and congregants will be asked to register for the activities they plan to attend. Livestream and Zoom will be available for certain activities so that congregants who are out of town can see Rabbi Knopf “in action.”
A follow-up survey will be sent out immediately after the weekend to obtain congregants’ feedback.
