It was a joyful day in Brokstedt that Sunday, when Rabbi Fuchs had the privilege to take part in the installation service of Pastorin Ulrike Wolfhahrt. To her left is her husband, Pastor Alexander Wolfhahrt and to my right is the Propst, Dr. Kurt Rieke.
Rabbi Fuchs in the News
Rabbi Fuchs was humbled and honored to be invited by Pastorin Ulrike Wolfhärt and the area-wide Probst, Dr. Kurt Rieke to share some thoughts and offer a blessing to Ulrike at her installation as Pastor of the Lutheran Evangelical Church in Brokstedt, Germany this past Sunday.
Rabbi Fuchs delivering the Six-Pack sermon in Bordesholm, Germany. He spoke about the importance of preserving and providing abundant clean water around the world. It is called a Six-Pack because the service has six parts: singing, drama, action activity, prayer, iPunkt message and eating together. iPunkt is a quick, hopefully, hard-hitting message addressing the theme of the service.
