Lifecycle Rituals
Sacred Thresholds Honored with Shalom
Moving through life's most significant doors—birth, union, and transition—requires a presence rooted in both ancient tradition and the natural world. I guide families through the mist and majesty of lifecycle moments with intimate, inclusive rituals.
Sacred Lifecycle Moments
Weddings
A wedding should feel like the two people standing beneath the chuppah. Together, we create a ceremony that is joyful, personal, deeply Jewish, and rooted in your story, your values, and the life you are building together.
Baby Namings
Welcoming a child into the Jewish people is a moment of blessing, gratitude, and hope. We will create a warm and meaningful ceremony that celebrates your child, your family, and the name and story you are giving them.
B’nai Mitzvah
Becoming b’nai mitzvah is about much more than one day. I work with young people and families to create a celebration that honors who the child truly is while helping them discover their own connection to Jewish tradition, learning, and community.
Funerals & Memorials
In times of loss, Jewish tradition gives us a way to hold grief with dignity, love, and memory. I work closely with families to create funerals, memorials, and unveilings that honor the fullness of a person’s life and help those who loved them begin the work of mourning.
Conversions & Jewish Journeys
There are many ways to find your way to Judaism. Whether you are considering conversion, returning to Jewish life, or simply exploring where you belong, I offer a thoughtful, welcoming space to learn, ask questions, and discover what Jewish life might mean for you.
Life Transitions
Not every important moment comes with a ready-made ritual. Divorce, retirement, healing, becoming an empty nester, changing a name, marking recovery, or beginning again can all deserve sacred attention. Together, we can create a Jewish ritual that gives language and meaning to the threshold you are crossing.
