“…She has immediately proven herself prepared to assume the role of acting senior rabbi and has slipped comfortably and confidently into this role…a real find for the complex role of today’s rabbi.”
“In her six years as Associate Rabbi, Carlie Daniels has become an integral and treasured leader of our congregation. She has directed all of our educational programming -- from our unique Family School, where children and parents learn about Judaism together, to our extensive lifetime-learning program for adults. When our founding rabbi retired after 25 years, Carlie moved seamlessly into the role of Acting Senior Rabbi, providing continuity and reassurance for congregants who value her leadership and compassion. She has been a cornerstone of our diverse congregation’s growth and success.”

“The first thing I noticed when Rabbi Daniels joined Congregation Sukkat Shalom as a young rabbi was her warmth and gravitas and how she felt comfortable interacting with all ages. While she is a great collaborator, her leadership skills are strong. This year she has stepped up to become our acting senior rabbi while we are in search. She has successfully calmed the nerves of the congregants upon the retirement of our founder and has infused the synagogue with new energy. Her sermons are inspirational, often finding nuance to a familiar story which makes me think about it differently. Though I will miss her very much, I am excited for her next congregation because they will be getting a star!”
