About

Shalom, my name is Rabbi Jessica Rosenthal (she, her). I grew up in Nashville, TN and have always felt drawn to social justice, human rights, and sacred personal relationships as a core basis for my Judaism. In addition, I like science fiction and pop culture, I enjoy vegetable gardening, and love creating, participating and using the arts whenever possible (singing, music making, drama, art and dance).
