Let’s Talk
Much of my work begins with a simple conversation. Pirkei Avot reminds us, “Do not separate yourself from the community,” and I strive to live that call in my rabbinate. If you’re exploring next steps for your community or simply wishing to begin a dialogue, I would be grateful to hear from you. Please share whatever questions, hopes, or stories you feel ready to offer. I look forward to being in touch.
B'vracha, with blessing,

For Search Committees
I would be honored to explore how my rabbinate might support and enrich your congregation. I hope these materials convey the reflective, inclusive, and deeply connected community I aspire to nurture. Letters of recommendation are available upon request.
רבי שמעון אומר, הוי זהיר בקריאת שמע ובתפלה. וכשאתה מתפלל, אל תעש תפלתך קבע.
Rabbi Shimon said: Be careful with the reading of Shema and the prayer, And when you pray, do not make your prayer something automatic.
— Pirkei Avot 2:13
