For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to community. I grew up in Skokie, Illinois, and from a young age, watched my parents build the synagogue community in which my brother and I were raised. As my parents worked alongside their peers to articulate a vision for their community, they put relationships and connection at the center of everything they did. And the shul I grew up in is like OZS in so many ways: small, warm and welcoming, dedicated to its members as well as the wider community. In so many ways, coming to OZS feels like coming home.

My parents taught me that relationships can transform everything. In my work as a rabbi and spiritual leader, I am committed to developing deep relationships within our community that are built on joy, trust, and curiosity. Everything that we do here at OZS grows out of those relationships that we foster with one another and with our tradition.

I can't wait to spend time getting to know you and learning about what makes you tick. Please reach out and we'll get together!
