Our Clergy

Rabbi David Castiglione received his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz and his Masters of Hebrew Letters from Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati and was ordained in 1992.

Following ordination, Rabbi Castiglione served Temple B'nai Israel of Elmira, New York. Four years later, his service continued with Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. In both communities, Rabbi Castiglione established many congregational firsts, including work with other faith groups and Jewish denominations. Now, after serving twelve years in Michigan, Rabbi Castiglione joins Temple Adat Shalom in Poway, as the congregation's next senior rabbi.

Rabbi Castiglione has long been a vocal proponent of outreach, an active advocate of civil and religious rights for all individuals and an impassioned teacher of texts and traditions as windows into our lives and directives for our growth.

While still in college, Rabbi Castiglione met and married his wife Adrienne. Together they are the parents of four boys, one of whom still lives at home and attends a local high school.

Cantor Lori Wilinsky Frank has been the Cantor of Temple Adat Shalom since 1982. She directs an exceptionally rich and diverse music program for our schools, our worship and congregational events. She also oversees the instruction of all Bar and Bat Mitzvah students.










Rabbi Emeritus Deborah R. Prinz
was the dynamic Senior Rabbi of Temple Adat Shalom from 1988-2007. During her tenure as our spiritual leader, the Temple grew in both population and program, with many of its programs recognized by the Reform Movement for their outstanding contribution to Jewish life. In her retirement, Rabbi Prinz has trained as an interim rabbi to continue to serve the Movement. She is currently the Interim Director of Program and Member Service for the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the professional organization of the North American Reform Rabbinate. She also researches and teaches about the connections between Jews and chocolate (Jews-onthechocolatetrail.org).
