What’s in a title?
I’ve been ruminating. Dangerous. One of my least favorite moments of rabbinic life (and honestly, there aren’t that many), is when someone called me “Rabbi Ellie”. You see, I completed nine years of schooling to receive my rabbinic ordination and … Continue reading
Did you vote?
Today is an election day in the USA. I have to say, after the Canadian adventure, it felt so good to go to a polling place and cast my ballot. Voting by mail just isn’t the same (and yes I … Continue reading

My curriculum guide is about Modern Hebrew poetry for adult learners in the congregational setting. Exciting, right?

School days…
Last night I read a fascinating article (posted by someone on Facebook) in The Atlantic about the school system in Finland. As you know, this year I am studying to earn a masters in Jewish education and am doing a … Continue reading
