Temple B’nai Abraham has announced the appointment of Aviva Marchione as its new associate rabbi.
The temple says that in her role as associate rabbi, Marchione will focus on enhancing the congregation’s educational offerings, leading inspiring worship services and expanding community outreach programs.
“I am honored and excited to join Temple B’nai Abraham,” said Rabbi Aviva. “I look forward to partnering with Rabbi Julie, the synagogue board, and the entire congregation to create meaningful and impactful Jewish experiences. Together, we will continue to build a strong, vibrant, and inclusive community.”
Marchione earned her rabbinical ordination from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 2024. She also has bachelors degree in history and global media studies from the University of Michigan. She served as a rabbinic intern at Temple B’nai Abraham from 2020 to 2022.

“We are excited to welcome Rabbi Aviva back to our community,” said Rabbi Julie Pfau, senior rabbi of Temple B’nai Abraham. “Her energy, vision, and devotion to fostering a vibrant Jewish life will undoubtedly enrich our synagogue and the broader Bordentown community.”
A special summer shabbat service and reception will be held on Friday, July 26, at 7:30 p.m. to formally welcome Rabbi Aviva to Temple B’nai Abraham. All members of the congregation and the broader community are invited to attend.
