Nomination for best clergy leader: Rabbi Mitchell Wohlberg. Here's a heartfelt nomination sent in by Dr. Marc I. Leavey: "I nominate Rabbi Mitchell Wohlberg, of Beth Tfiloh Congregation, as Pikesville's (at least Pikesville's) Best Clergy Leader. That he has been named "Master of the Sermon," and that people come to services just to hear him speak, is part of it. That he understands and connects with the full range of congregants, from old to young, observant to not, knowledgeable to novice, is another part of it. That he has spoken at an Evangelical Church, a Mosque, and had a audience with the Pope, as well as having other religious leaders of diverse backgrounds speak and give classes at Beth Tfiloh, is yet another part of it. But the central essence is that I consider him to be a friend, and I am proud to call him my Rabbi." -Marc I. Leavey, M.D. Submitted via e-mail.
