My rabbinic path is focused on empowering people to find meaning and build community. As a congregational leader and a leader of rabbinic peers, I meet people where they are and help thread them into communal life, providing deeper connection and growth. I am skilled at developing accessible tools that enable people to direct their Jewish journeys. I believe that only in community – with people who both share our values and challenge us to grow - can we make our lives meaningful and move all of us toward a holier and more just world.
I firmly believe that everyone has Wisdom to share and Torah to teach. I am drawn to the Midrash, which teaches that all who were at Sinai and received divine revelation did so in their own unique way and addressed their specific talents and abilities. There is no one-size-fits-all Judaism and no one-size-fits-all path to follow. Helping people discover their Torah and accompanying them on their path is the work of my rabbinate.
Observe that God's voice went forth to each Israelite in accordance with the individual’s capacity to receive it. The elders, the men, the youths, the little ones, the sucklings—each heard it according to their own capacity. Even Moses heard it according to his capacity, as it is said: Moses spoke, and God answered him by (with) a voice (Exod. 19:19); that is, with a voice that Moses was able to comprehend. Thus, it says: The voice of God was powerful with strength (Ps. 29:1). “With God's strength” is not written in this verse, but rather with strength, that is, according to the strength of each individual (to tolerate the sound). Even the pregnant women heard it in accordance with their strength. Therefore it says: Each one of them according to their strength.
