In 1963, the Temple hired Laszlo Berkowits as its first rabbi. In 1998, it became the largest congregation in the United States to have a female rabbi, when it replaced Berkowits, who had decided to retire, with then-associate rabbi Amy Schwartzman.

The Temple's current Assistant Rabbi is Jeffrey Saxe. It hired its first cantor, Michael Shochet, in 1998.
