Leading Prayer and Ritual

My Jewish roots run deep

finding beauty, relevence, and meaning in an ancient tradition

Together with my spouse, artist and Ritual Weaver McKenzie Wren of Ma'ayan Spritual Arts, we create engaging Jewish experiences that are musical and artistic, and that center nature, inclusive prayer language, and joy.

As a lay leader at my synagogue, Congregation Bet Haverim (CBH), I frequently lead or co-lead religious services (tefillah). I have also led High Holiday services for our youth for 12 years. And, as one of a team of lay leaders, I also lead a daily on-line minyan called 'Mindful Moments'.

For two years I was Undergraduate Activity Director for San Francisco Hillel. Before that, being president of a student Zionist group at S.F. State University led me to live in Israel for a year. Since then I've taught Hebrew calligraphy and paper cut art. I've also written and recorded original Jewish chants and songs.
