I serve a small Conservative congregation in South Bend IN. I received my ordination from JTS in 1990 and my doctorate from Spertus College in 2022. I have served Sinai Synagogue since 1996 and served the Moses Montefiore Synagogue in Appleton Wisconsin from 1991-1996. I grew up in the large Jewish community of Chicago but have always served small Jewish communities and advocated for their importance.
