JEWISH OFFICIANT SERVICES
FOR LIFE'S MOST
MEANINGFUL MOMENTS.
From weddings and life cycle milestones to Shabbat gatherings, memorials and special events. I create meaningful Jewish experiences that honor tradition while embracing today.
01
GETTING MARRIED?
Jewish & Interfaith Weddings, Cermonies & Kettubah Signings
Personal Jewish and interfaith wedding ceremonies rooted in tradition and designed around your story.
No two couples are alike, and their wedding ceremonies shouldn’t be either. As a Jewish and interfaith wedding officiant, I spend time getting to know you, your story, your families and the traditions that matter to you. Together, we’ll create a ceremony that thoughtfully weaves Jewish ritual, music, prayer and personal touches into something that feels unmistakably yours. I officiate both Jewish and interfaith weddings and work with couples to create a ceremony that honors their backgrounds, beliefs and the life they are building together. A separate Ketubah signing ceremony can also be part of the experience. I will guide you through the meaning of the Ketubah, the signing and the traditions surrounding it, creating a meaningful moment before the wedding ceremony begins. Planning a wedding? Let’s talk about what you’re imagining.
02
CELEBRATING SOMETHING?
Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Baby Namings & Jewish Life Cycle Moments
Personal Jewish rituals created around your family, your traditions and the moment you’re celebrating
Jewish life is filled with moments worth marking, and I love helping families make those moments feel like their own. From Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and Jewish baby naming ceremonies to other personal milestones, I create ceremonies rooted in Jewish tradition while reflecting the people at the center of them. For Bar and Bat Mitzvah families celebrating outside a traditional synagogue setting, I work with parents and children to create a service that feels meaningful and personal. We’ll talk through the rituals, prayers, music and traditions and shape a ceremony around who your child is and what this moment means to your family. I’ll guide your child through the prayers they’ll lead and help them feel comfortable and connected to the service. I don’t tutor Torah portions, but I’m happy to recommend tutors who can prepare your child for that part of the ceremony. For baby namings and other Jewish life cycle moments, we’ll do the same thing: start with tradition, get to know your family and create a ritual that feels meaningful, joyful and genuinely yours. There are so many ways to mark a Jewish milestone. Let’s create yours.
03
WHAT'S FOR SHABBAT?
Kitchen Table Shabbat & Shabbat Services
Warm, musical Shabbat experiences that bring people together
Shabbat doesn’t have to happen inside a synagogue. My Kitchen Table Shabbat brings Friday night ritual into the places where you actually gather: around a dinner table, in a backyard, at a park, in a restaurant or wherever your community feels at home. Through music, storytelling, prayer, ritual, food and conversation, I create a warm, joyful Shabbat experience designed around the people at the table. It can be intimate with family and friends or created for a larger group or community. I also lead Shabbat services throughout the Los Angeles area for synagogues, organizations and communities. Light the candles. Pour the wine. Gather your people. Let’s bring Shabbat to the table.
04
FINDING COMFORT IN RITUAL
Jewish Funeral Services, Unveilings, Moments of Remembrance & Hospital Visits
Jewish ritual can be especially meaningful when words are difficult to find
I work closely with families navigating death and loss, helping them create a service that honors the person they loved and reflects the life they lived. I will sit with the family, listen to their stories, talk through Jewish traditions and ritual options, and offer guidance and support throughout the planning process. I officiate funerals, Shiva services, unveilings and memorials in synagogues, funeral homes, at gravesides and in private homes. I have led remembrance ceremonies on beaches and in other locations that held special meaning for a family. I also visit loved ones in the hospital, offering comfort, companionship and spiritual support during difficult times. There is no single right way to remember someone. My role is to help families find the words, music and ritual that feel right for them. When you need support creating a meaningful farewell, I am here.
05
GOT A CROWD TO WOW?
Jewish Concerts & Special Events
Before the Bima, there was Broadway
My career as a performer has taken me from Broadway stages to Lincoln Center, New York’s Town Hall and JCCs across the country. Today, I bring that experience together with my love of Jewish music, history and storytelling to create concerts and programs for Jewish communities and organizations. My Jewish-themed concerts celebrate the extraordinary influence of Jewish composers and artists, from Broadway to the silver screen, combining music, stories and my unmistakable sense of joy. Programs can be tailored to the audience and occasion, including community celebrations, annual fundraisers, galas and special events. Looking for something a little different for your community or event? Let’s put on a show!
