| Introduction | A 5th-year Cantorial student in the ALEPH Ordination Program, I was born during the week of Parshah Beshalach. It is thus no wonder that I wandered through a wilderness, feeling called to serve others, but without a spiritual home, for nearly 40 years. This journey eventually brought me to Judaism and the calling to the Cantorate. I envision serving through music, chaplaincy, education, and spiritual direction. Currently, I have two ongoing ventures: The Blessing Project, which aims to make traditional davening (prayer) and deep spiritual practice accessible and teachable to teens and adults; as well as Hineni, a collaboration with Rabbi Elizabeth Goldstein, which combines Torah learning, music, and spiritual preparation during Elul, the month leading us into Yamim Noraim (the High Holidays). I am mom to 4 teenagers (whoa!), and partner to Jim. We live in a mid-19th century farmhouse in Michigan with our 3 dogs, 3 cats, 19 chickens, 8 ducks, and 2 geese. (To be clear, the fowl live outside.) You can find my collaboration with Rabbi Elizabeth at www.hineni.space |
