“I am eager to inspire others with the fire of Torah, enabling Jews of all ages to experience the true sweetness and warmth of a welcoming community, inspirational learning, and soulful and vibrant song-filled prayer. I strongly believe that a dynamic and passionate Judaism—one that allows for both intellectual discovery and soulful connection—has the power to move us toward meaningful engagement within the Jewish community and within the larger world."
