Who am I

and

Where am I going?

A lifetime of participating in the societal struggle for economic, social, racial, gender equity, and justice, is woven into the very fabric of my being. It informs everything I do, and every interaction I have.

The world—and Judaism with it—is going through a huge paradigm shift.

As a rabbi, I see my role as pushing that shift along.

My mission is to open doors and expand boundaries in all directions, both within and outside, the Jewish world.

Because of where I come from, and my perspective on the world, I am passionate about addressing, and capable of meeting the needs of:

  • Those who see themselves as spiritual but not religious

  • Those who come from, or are creating, interfaith families

  • Those who wish to weave cultures together

  • Those in need of Spanish-speaking Jewish clergy

  • Those who identify as LGBTQ

  • Those born to a Jewish father but not a Jewish mother

  • Those who “feel” Jewish and wish to be recognized as such

  • Jews of Color

  • Jews by Choice

  • Those who typically feel on the margins of Jewish community for a myriad of other reasons

Whatever your story, I want to hear it.

I wish to be there for you, and welcome you into the Jewish fold.
