Whether it is connecting spiritually or culturally, Judaism offers something for everyone. I strive to help strengthen the bonds that connect G-d, the Jewish people, and others from outside of Judaism who wish to be included. The Torah commands us to love the stranger in our midst.  If we can’t find a place for Interfaith families and for the LGBTQ community, we are closing ourselves off to the reality of who Jews are in the 21^st Century.”
