 This changed on May 1, 2005, when German-born Elisa Klapheck became the community's first own rabbi; she is the first female rabbi in Dutch Jewish history.She led the congregation from 2005 till her departure in 2009 to Frankfurt.Since then Clary Rooda (at the time rabbi in training) and rabbi Hannah Nathans have led the services at Beit Ha'Chidush.
