RABBI EMERITUS SHLOMO BUTLER

Rabbi Shlomo [Fred] Butler (Z’’L) founded our synagogue community in August of 1984.  He served our members and the greater Orange County area until his death in 2015. 

 

As a visionary in Southern California, he was the Western Regional Director of the UMJC for 9 years, expanding the B’sorah throughout the Southwest.  An avid lover of HaShem, Rabbi Shlomo lectured throughout the United States on the centrality of Israel and the Jewish people in G-d’s redemptive plan. 

 

We honor his contributions and service to our community and are indebted to his courage in the face of adversity as we continue his work at Adat B’rit.
