Weddings

Couples work with me to create the wedding service of their dreams. As we learn together, it’s my pleasure to share the depth and beauty of Jewish ritual. I work with couples to choose which aspects of tradition and creativity they want to bring into their unique service. I am proud to work with interfaith and LGBTQ+ couples.

B Mitzvah

Every Jewish 13-year-old should have the ability to access this rite of passage into young adulthood. I am adept at working with students and families to help them prepare for and pass through this sacred rite.

Conversions

When someone makes the choice to join the Jewish people, they undertake hours of learning, practice, and introspection. I am committed to walking seekers through this challenging and rewarding process.

Naming Ceremonies

We welcome and embrace babies through the ritual of naming. From choosing a Hebrew name to involving family members in this sacred moment, I create meaningful ceremonies that reflect tradition and the unique values of each family.

Funerals

When families lose a dear one, I am honored to help them mark this moment through a funeral or memorial service, and shiva. I assist families by rooting their ritual in tradition, while making each service reflect the uniqueness of the individual being memorialized.
