Karmi Ingber

Karmi David Ingber (born 1962 in Brooklyn, New York) was the rabbi of Knesseth Israel Congregation. He took the position in fall 2007, replacing Avraham Shmidman. His first contract was not renewed and he is now the Rabbi of The Kehillah of Sandy Springs, Georgia.

Ingber's parents are Holocaust survivors from Czechoslovakia. He spent 20 years in Israel, teaching advanced studies for Rabbis at Ner LeElef Institute. In Israel, he met his wife, also from New York. They have seven children.

From 2005 until his departure, Ingber was in Montreal, Canada, leading a program to revitalize outreach in the Canadian Jewish community, targeting young professional Jews who may have lost touch with their religious heritage.

Ingber was recommended to be rabbi of Knesseth Isreal by a friend of the departing rabbi Shmidman.
