Historian Dr. Rabbi Lance Sussman was a three-year Rabbinic student who served the Jewish Community of Richmond Indiana almost 40 years ago.

Rabbi Sussman published a History of the community with the Indiana Jewish Historical Society in 1981 called "The Emergence of a Jewish Community in Richmond, Indiana."

We talk about the uniqueness of Of Temple Beth Boruk in Richmond Indiana where Rabbi Sussman served as Student Rabbi and how it differs from other Jewish communities of similar size in Indiana. We discuss how small communities such as Richmond Indiana can be a great launching pad for future Rabbinic carriers.
