They say that all education begins at home, and for me, that is definitely true. My parents are scholars of Jewish studies and inspired my love for Torah from a young age. I also had extraordinary teachers at the Maimonides School who pushed me to see how challenging and exciting Torah study, and especially Talmud study, could be. I wrote my high school senior thesis about whether Orthodox women might ever be rabbis. 

From there, I was admitted to Yale University, but before matriculating I took a gap year to study at a seminary in Israel called Migdal Oz. At the time, Migdal Oz was the top institution of Jewish learning for women. My friends and teachers from that year added fuel to my already kindled fire for Torah - they showed me new heights of beauty in Torah study, and my spirit flourished that year in an environment rich with music, prayer and intentionality. 

​

Returning to the United States, I spent four years studying Philosophy and Psychology at Yale University. During my time there, I was intensely involved in the Slifka Center for Jewish Life and also Dwight Hall: The Center for Public Service and Social Justice at Yale. I wrote my senior thesis about confession, exploring the power and potential of gifts of trust and vulnerability. I graduated cum laude with honors in philosophy, as well as multiple public service awards and recognition for my contributions to religious life on campus. 

​

I began studying for ordination at Yeshivat Maharat just months after graduating from Yale, pursuing the dream I had laid out in my high school thesis. Over four years, my studies covered Jewish law relating to the lifecycle, Shabbat, Kashrut and Niddah. I received invaluable pastoral training, and grew my skills in every area of Jewish text study and teaching. Since my semikha in 2018, I have continued studying and teaching Jewish law.
