What brings you joy, meaning, and purpose? What are your values and passions? What are your hopes, favorite memories, and dreams for the future? Whatever your answers, I want to create a ritual that reflects them. I am a rabbi, writer, and innovative ritual artist who loves designing lifecycle and ritual experiences that are deeply personal to the individual, couple, or family walking beside me. Rituals do not mark change; they MAKE change. I want not only you, but the entire community gathered with you, to feel the effect of that transformation. The conversations we share leading up to the ritual are just as important to me as the ritual itself. Rituals and the moments leading up to them are ripe for deep connection, reflection, and celebration. I am grateful to everyone who trusts me to join them on their journeys and I would be honored to be part of yours.

In addition to lifecyle rituals, such as weddings, funerals, and baby namings, I am also available to lead prayer services, to support your on your spiritual journey, or to design a custom ritual or prayer for the moments in your life that require a ritual or a blessing, and don’t necessarily have one already. I have many years of experience designing original rituals and custom liturgy for unique moments, such as a transgender renaming ritual, a ritual for moving into a new home, a prayer for caregivers, a ritual for a bone marrow transplant, and a ritual for a friend closing a beloved art studio. I’ve written prayers for postponing special events, a prayer for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, and prayers for entering and exiting rehab, as well as several contemporary versions of daily liturgy. You can find many of these linked on my writing page, and published on Ritualwell.
