Temple Shir Tikva’s Rabbi Danny Burkeman and His Path to Citizenship
Not everyone can say they have been partners, supporters, and clients of JFS as Rabbi Danny Burkeman of Temple Shir Tikva can after participating in the Naturalization Oath Ceremony this week. After swearing in to become an American citizen, Rabbi Danny was eager to register to vote with his wife, Micol, in time for the upcoming presidential election. In light of the election and the remaining few days to vote, JFS is thrilled to share an uplifting immigration journey that granted a valued partner the right to vote just in time.
