Temple Micah Announces the Appointment of Rabbi Dr. Brielle Paige Rassler as Its New Spiritual Leader
June 15, 2026
Rabbi Rassler’s deep commitment to Jewish learning and her dedication to building an inclusive, vibrant Jewish community make her an ideal spiritual leader for Temple Micah, which for almost 60 years has shared space with the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville.
“We are so happy to welcome Rabbi Rassler to Temple Micah,” said
Andrew Schragger, President of the congregation. “During the last six
months, as she led Shabbat services, Rabbi Brielle’s infectious smile,
beautiful voice, and joy for Judaism immediately connected with people of all ages. She brings extraordinary warmth and energy to our congregation.” Schragger added, “Her appointment marks an exciting new chapter for Temple Micah as we continue our longstanding commitment to offer meaningful Jewish experience in a welcoming community for Jews, interfaith families, and all who seek a personal connection to Jewish life.”
“I am honored to join the Temple Micah family,” said Rabbi Rassler. “From my first conversations with congregants and leadership, I felt the congregation’s welcoming spirit, creativity, and dedication to Jewish values. I look forward to learning together, celebrating together, and building a future rooted in tradition, compassion, and community.”
