Summary: Rabbi Andrea London reflects on congregational leadership. Beth Emet The Free Synagogue is a cornerstone of Evanston’s Reform Jewish community—an institution that has blazed trails since its founding some 60 years ago. Under the leadership of Rabbi Andrea London since last summer, the congregation now is undertaking a new era of change. “Change is inevitable, but growth is optional,” London says in an interview with JUF News Executive Editor Aaron B. Cohen. “I want to take that option, because things are going to change, and if you stay the same, the world is going to continue to move past you until you’re irrelevant.”
