learn and work with me!
teaching and consulting offerings
Hello!
If you get this newsletter, you are likely interested in the kinds of Torah I have to share. So I am using this platform to advertise the slate of teaching and consulting offerings I am launching!
This is part of expanding my freelance work; I have expertise that can enhance your Torah learning, your community, or your organization, and I want to connect about it!
A few sample offerings I’m excited about:
Self-Selected Topic Tutorial:
I will work with you to tailor a curriculum for a defined number of weeks or on an ongoing basis to explore topics, genres, and skills that are alive for you. I have worked with students ranging from those new to Judaism to those with many years of text study experience.
Guided Halakhic Research Chavruta:
You pick the topic, and I guide you through the relevant halakhic (Jewish life-guiding) texts. In this model, we follow where the texts lead, with a focus on empowering you to better understand both the topic and the halakhic process.
Issue-specific consulting
I am available for one-off or ongoing consulting for clergy, educators, and nonprofits around integrating women’s Torah into your teaching and programming, advising queer community members sensitively, especially around the integration of traditional practice and queerness, reviewing or advising on hilkhot niddah (laws around menstruation and sex), integrating Torah into your community trainings and policies, and beyond.
Rabbinic Thought Partnership
Modeled off of a long-term collaboration with Rabbi Shira Stutman, I work with rabbis to develop Torah content and structure for sermons and classes. I suggest additional sources that engage with your ideas, help brainstorm topics when you are stuck, and when relevant, learn Torah in chavruta with you to help develop your thinking and teaching. I offer this as an ongoing relationship or a shorter-term collaboration (think: High Holiday season)!
Scholar-in-Residence and Group Facilitation
I have taught exciting, lively Torah to students of all backgrounds around the world. I specialize in guiding students with mixed experiences of Jewish text in learning skillfully together, with nobody being made to feel small or left behind. I support groups in building community around shared exploration of values and ideas through Torah learning, whether for an hour, a day, a weekend, or longer.
All this and more at my newly updated website!
P.S. The economics of rabbinic intellectual work (slash, all work everywhere, we are in a polycrisis!) can be challenging — it would be incredibly helpful and supportive if you’d share this with a friend or colleague!
