Rabbi Katie Bauman was joyfully, enthusiastically, and unanimously elected to serve as Touro Synagogue’s next Senior Rabbi.. Born in New Orleans, Rabbi Bauman is overjoyed to have the opportunity to serve the synagogue that has been so important in her family story. We now know that what binds us together as a community is marvelously strong and resilient.
