I lead Jewish mindfulness classes and monthly new moon workshops that incorporate creative expression and ritual. I love making Judaism creative, personalized and accessible.
I bring warmth, a rich knowledge of tradition and inclusivity to meet couples, families, and students wherever they are in order to create a meaningful experience.Previously, I was the InterfaithFamily/DC (now 18Doors.org) director, serving the needs of interfaith couples and families throughout Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC.
