The passing of the Torah symbolized the transfer of leadership, according to Rabbi Perman, who served as rabbi of Temple Shalom for 13 years. “These two will make a terrific team,” Perman said of the pair who will take over duties at the temple. “They go together like Brad and Bahter,” he said to lighten the mood during his farewell speech.
