Rebbetzin Birnbaum, who is an occupational therapist specialising in children with additional needs, will focus on pastoral care, youth and children and women’s initiatives at Kinloss.

The Birnbaums, who expect to take up their position in September, said they were “deeply honoured and delighted” at their election.

“While we are of course sad to leave the wonderful Toras Chaim community, which will always have a special place in our hearts, we look forward to this new opportunity with enthusiasm and great anticipation.

“With Hashem's help, we look forward to partnering with the Kinloss community in building an outstanding powerhouse of community life, filled with warmth, meaningful Torah values and above all a place every member can call home.”

Their wealth of experience and dedication positions them ideally to guide our community into a flourishing future. Together, we look forward to embarking on a transformative journey marked by inspiration, education, and communal development.”
