Lifecycle EventsIt is during some of our most personal moments and life’s transitions that many of us connect to that which is deeply spiritual within us, whether they are some of the happiest or saddest times. I believe lifecycle events can be much more than scripted, generic rituals; indeed, these encompass some of the very moments which create the memories of our lives. As your Rabbi, I take my role very seriously, listening carefully to your personal stories, thoughts, needs and feelings. It is in our interactions reflected in the work we do together that your ceremony will be elevated to embody that which is sanctified and holy in our lives.
Lifecycle rituals bring thousands of years of meaning into our lives and help us to mark those times by creating some of our most special memories, both joyous and sad, from weddings to B'nai Mitzvah, baby namings, funeral and dedications and Yahrzeit remembrances. People often ask me how I do the work that I do. “Rabbi, I don’t know how you do it; I mean, there’s so much sadness.” And my response to that question is always the same. I feel enormously blessed to be a rabbi, to be able to guide and counsel people through some of life’s most challenging passages, to help people ritually mark life’s most important moments such as birth, puberty, marriage, and death, to echo timeless meaning through a contemporary lens of our shared Jewish experience.
