Welcome

Welcome to my webpage.

On my web page, you can learn about me and my work.

As a bit of background on me, following college, I began studying to be a Rabbi and an attorney.  Since graduating Rutgers University School of Law in Newark in 2002, I have practiced law at the Law Offices of Jan Meyer.  I received my rabbinic ordination (Smikhah) in 2004 from the Institute of Traditional Judaism (AKA “The Metivta”), part of the Union for Traditional Judaism (UTJ). Since receiving s’mikha (Rabbinic ordination) in 2004, I served as Rabbi of Temple Israel of Long Beach, New York for six years and then continued to practice in the rabbinate through per-diem and high-holiday pulpits.  I am also an active member of the Union for Traditional Judaism and its rabbinical fellowship, Morashah.

You can learn more about me and read my writings, etc., by using the menus at the top of this website.

 

Although I am happily and fully employed, I remain interested in part-time rabbinical work such as high-holiday pulpits, per-diem engagements, “guest rabbi/cantor,” vacation replacements, weddings, etc. (as a Kohen, I don’t do funerals) and I am willing to travel.  I am also happy to take on legal clients in New York and New Jersey through my office, Law Offices of Jan Meyer.  

I offer a pleasant voice and a joyful spirit that I believe enhances tefillah (prayer) and engages a community. Serving a community’s religious needs is a deeply meaningful gift, and I cherish any opportunity I get to do so. I am happy to do so in a rabbinic, cantorial, or hybrid capacity. I am also happy to participate in alternative services such as teen minyanim and “learner’s” services.
