Is the Rabbinate your next move?

Every day I am discovering that I am capable of changing the reality around myself.

At Ziegler, I find myself questioning everything. As I delve deeper into text, acquiring better skills and proficiency, I realize how little I know - about my tradition, my practices, and myself. This has been a transformative and challenging experience in the best way - I am learning to clearly define who I am and why I have chosen this path.

"I see my role as Rabbi is as a spiritual guide, to help individuals and communities find their inner voice, to act as a vessel through which Torah flows and to help others find their peace, their greatness and their connection to the Divine."

"There is no better place to immerse myself into Torah and Talmud than at AJU. The view of the sculpture garden and the Santa Monica mountains reminds me so much of Israel."

I really loved the way in which the AJU Rabbis and teachers were teaching, and the way they welcomed me into their classrooms, offices, and homes.

"I would tell an incoming student to be an active participant in the school and in advocating for their own educational needs."

I really wasn't looking for a community, I wanted a school - but I found an incredible community here at AJU.

This is an exciting time for the Jewish people and in history. I want to be the kind of leader that will help shape and stabilize, solidify the foundations of our institutions for generations to come.
