Relevant Judaism
Judaism has never been a single voice — it is a tradition shaped by generations of interpretation, questioning, and lived experience.
My approach embraces the full diversity of those who find meaning in Jewish life today — including interfaith families and LGBTQ+ individuals and families.
I understand Jewish tradition as something we are meant to turn and turn again — engaging with our texts while allowing them to speak to the realities of the present moment.
My goal is to continue to celebrate and enhance the richness Judaism and what the Jewish tradition can contribute to your life — making space for more voices, more stories, and more ways of belonging.
Moments That Matter
There are moments in life that ask to be held with care — moments of joy, transition, grief, and memory.
I work with individuals and families to create ceremonies that are thoughtful, grounded, and deeply personal — rooted in Jewish tradition and responsive to each unique story.

I am an American rabbi living in The Netherlands. My greatest joy is working at the intersection of Jewish text, lived experience, and contemporary life.
My background includes advanced study in Jewish thought and practice, alongside ongoing work with individuals and families navigating both ordinary and complex life moments.
Across teaching, writing, and officiating, my focus is on creating spaces that are thoughtful, grounded, and responsive to the realities people are living.
