I am honored by the praise I have received for "a deft ability to bring authentic Judaism" and an "inclusive atmosphere, celebration and sanctity together" at these ceremonies. Yet, it is the work I do connecting with each and every person before and after the ceremony that people say sets me apart and greatly deepens their experience.
I would be happy to speak with you about Weddings, Bris & Baby namings, Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah lessons or ceremonies, House Blessings, or Funerals & Memorial Services.
