I am passionate about creating meaningful, personal, authentic and inclusive life-cycle experiences for individuals, couples, and families comprised of all genders, sexual orientations, and religious backgrounds. Welcoming your infant, officiating a B'nai Mitzvah, creating your wedding ceremony, and shaping a memorial service for your loved one, is my honor and privilege. Growing up with two mothers taught me the value of inclusion, and with two sons and a nonbinary teen of my own, being an an LGBTQIA+ ally is the most important value in my rabbinate.
I serve on the Rabbinic Advisory Council of Bruchim, an organization that advocates for the open inclusion of those who feel differently about the circumcision tradition. I am an approved officiant with 18 Doors (formerly Interfaith Family), Unorthodox Celebrations, and Great Officiants, and am certified in premarital counseling through Prepare-Enrich. As a rabbi on call at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary, I create funeral and memorial ceremonies for loved ones of those in the Los Angeles area who are not connected to a synagogue.
