I am grateful to be receiving my Smicha, Rabbinic Ordination, from the ALEPH Ordination Program, culminating five years of study and a lifelong dream and calling. The AOP, a post-denominational seminary with Jewish Renewal, serves students from across the world, representing the wide spectrum of Jewish expressions. The richness of Jewish Renewal has enriched my own spiritual practice and has enhanced my understanding and perspective of all things Jewish. I hope that as you join me in celebrating my ordination, you will also consider supporting the ALEPH scholarship fund which allows others to achieve their own rabbinic and cantorial aspirations.
