About

I am a cisgender, straight, male rabbi serving a diverse community in the West Bay region of Rhode Island. I regularly make LGBTQ+ inclusion a part of my teaching and community organizing. I advocate at the Rhode Island Statehouse for pro-LGBTQ+ inclusion legislation. I am the proud parent of two LGBTQ+ adult children.

Here is a sermon I delivered at Rosh Hashanah services this year: https://www.rebjeff.com/blog/if-i-am-i-and-you-are-you
