Rabbi Paul Schreiber, aka Reb Tuviah, is absolutely delighted to be the new rabbi and spiritual leader of Temple Beth David in Spring Hill, Florida. The soulful, spiritual journey of Reb Tuviah has taken him on many paths. Throughout the years, he has immersed himself in Jewish education and has created, led and participated in numerous Jewish and interfaith programs. Most recently, he was the rabbi of a local Havurah group in South Florida. While in the West Palm Beach / Boca Raton area, Reb Tuviah led weekly Shabbat services and monthly healing circles at local congregations and various assisted living homes. Additionally, he was the Sunday school music teacher and song leader for kindergarten through sixth grade students at a local reform congregation.
Having a Master’s Degree in education and administration, he has enjoyed a fulfilling career as a classroom teacher and as a principal in both public schools and private Jewish day schools in Miami, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Burlington, Vermont.
Reb Tuviah received his rabbinic ordination from The Jewish Spiritual Leaders Institute in New York and is a certified Hebrew Chant Leader through the Aleph Alliance for Jewish Renewal. His studies have taken him to Or Sameach in New York and Aish HaTorah in Jerusalem and Miami Beach. Additionally, he has studied with Rabbi Shefa Gold of Kol Zimra, Rabbi Marcia Prager of Aleph, and Rick Recht at the annual Songleader’s Boot Camp. He is currently enrolled as a student in the Aleph Alliance for Jewish Renewal Davening Leadership Training Institute in Connecticut.
In his spare time, Reb Tuviah studies the piano and guitar, explores Florida’s natural outdoor beauty, is very much involved in community theater as both an actor and director, and is a certified Red Cross instructor.
Reb Tuviah is grateful for this opportunity of becoming a part of the Temple Beth David family and the surrounding area of Hernando County. He is looking forward to bringing his unique and musically rich approach to prayer, worship, introspection and study to the entire Spring Hill community.
