About

My role as a congregational rabbi is to serve the Jewish community, those connected to the Jewish community through their loved ones, and those seeking to become a part of the Jewish community. I can be a teacher, a supporter, or just a presence when needed. I welcome all types of Jews to find a home in our congregation and to reach out to me. I love the variety and diversity that is found within our beautiful community.

My community contains many members of the lgbtqia+ community and we look forward to welcoming others. We are committed to inclusion and equality.
