Teaching
My teaching and facilitation work is part of the same project that drives my research and creative practice: what does it look like for a room of people to receive what came before them and make something new together?
I work with individuals, communities, and organizations —in one-on-one learning, in workshops, and as a scholar-in-residence—creating experiences that are intellectually serious, embodied, and alive to the particular people in the room.
One-on-one learning
Longitudinal, intimate text-based learning — tailored to where you are and where you want to go. The tradition as a living conversation partner; me as interlocutor and guide. Available through the Jewish Learning Collaborative and independently.
Workshops & scholar-in-residence
Experiential group learning, primarily but not exclusively in Jewish contexts. Participants encounter inherited voices and are invited to respond from their own experience, carving a place for themselves among a living lineage. These experiences draw on close reading of texts and commentaries and the particular wisdom of the people in the room and their bodies.
Recent & current work:
Scholar-in-residence, Beth Jacob Congregation — Shavuot 2026.
Mixing It Up: The Body of Arevut — a workshop using Hebrew etymology and embodied practice to explore mutual responsibility. Presented at TC Jewfolk’s Engage! 2026.
Guest workshop for Neurobiology class at Macalester College — Engaging with Darwin’s writings to see the ways that scientific writing draws on the lived experiences of readers.
The Tower of Babel — a nine-session series combining close readings of the Hebrew text, commentaries, and embodied practice.
For educators & organizational leaders
For rabbis, educators, communal professionals, and organizational leaders who want to create these kinds of experiences in their own contexts. Rooted in Jewish educational research and practice, built around principles that travel: how to design spaces where people feel both held by a tradition and free to contribute to it.
