Elizabeth brings a wealth of experience as an educator and organizer in the Jewish community, and we're thrilled to welcome her to JUFJ. She was just ordained as a rabbi by the Jewish Theological Seminary and returns to JUFJ after having been active in our early years.  While at JTS, Elizabeth was the co-chair of KeshetJTS, which advocated for the full inclusion of LGBTQ Jews in the Conservative Movement.  

A trained community organizer, she is also a member of the Jewish Funds for Justice Clergy Taskforce and is a board member of the National Havurah Committee. Before rabbinical school, Elizabeth worked in the field of international development in Africa and the Middle East, and as an educator and project manager in the Jewish community. 

Elizabeth will be starting with JUFJ full-time at the end of July. You'll get to meet her at our membership meeting on June 17th!
