Rabbi
Tirzah Firestone is our spiritual leader, as well as a renowned
teacher, author and Jungian therapist. She speaks and teaches
nationally on the topic of spirituality, ancient mystical wisdom
for the modern soul, and the re-integration of feminine wisdom
into the Jewish tradition. Reb Tirzah leads Shabbat services on
the first and third Friday evenings of every month, all holiday
services, Shabbat morning b'nei mitzvah services, Saturday afternoon
Torah study emphasizing the wisdom of the Hassidic masters, and
a variety of other classes and lifecycle rituals.

Reb
Tirzah came back in 2004 with a new approach to spiritual leadership
that incorporates lay-leaders who are trained to respond to the
various needs of spiritual community, Bikkur
Cholim, Lifecycle Rituals, Music,
Davvenen, and Tikkun
Olam. Reb Tirzah is also committed to bringing our younger
members into leadership positions and guiding members to deeper
practice, such as through our two-year adult b'nai mitzvah program
(which began again this winter.)
