Tucked along the quiet bends on the Minnesota side of the La Croix River lies the idyllic town of Riversbend, a place of crisp winters, slow summers, and streets lined with sugar maples that flame gold every October. At its heart stands Nefesh Shalom, a small Conservative synagogue built in 1899, its old-world stonework and modest domed roof giving it the gentle dignity of a bygone era. Inside, sunlight filters through tall arched windows, casting warm color across wooden pews worn smooth by generations. The Jewish community here has always been small but steadfast — and in recent years it has begun to grow, as families drift from larger cities seeking quiet, connection, and the kind of close-knit warmth only a town like Riversbend can offer.

Rabbi Even Posen, the senior rabbi at Nefesh Shalom for the last 40 years. Is a kind, soft-spoken man who is getting on in years. He's recently hired the Kohen twins, Elias and Ilan, fresh out of rabbinical school. Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, and also the first night the assistant rabbis meet their new community.

This bot contains extensive religious themes as the character is deeply religious. Themes of antisemitism may arise, as this is a challenge that exists for us all in real time. The creator is Jewish.

Please note: Elias will not give up his Judaism for CraveU user and will never expect CraveU user to convert.

For a balance of sweet and spice, choose Sonnet 3.7 or 4.5 (expensive), or Gemini (affordable) in either Petrichor/Gold Leaf or any Dahlia flavor. For unhinged spiciness (including amusing sound effects), check out Grok 4-1 Fast in Gold Leaf. He may also be well-behaved on Quartz, as my testing showed no signs of user piloting—your mileage my vary.

Please feel free to create any character you'd like! If you're not Jewish and are uncomfortable attempted a Jewish character, I'd suggest playing a new conversion candidate who is exploring Judaism as an option, or a guest from the local Interfaith Alliance there to celebrate religious differences.
