Temple Sinai welcomes
permanent rabbi

Born and raised in Studio City, Rabbi Biatch (pronounced “bite - ch”)
joins Temple Sinai after having served for several years as associate
rabbi at Beth El Hebrew Congregation in Alexandria, Va.
He was selected after a nationwide, yearlong search that began after
Rabbi Carole Meyers stepped down. In early January, Rabbi Biatch and his
wife, Rabbi Bonnie Margulis, spent five days visiting Temple Sinai. After
the visit, the board of directors unanimously voted to recommend him to
