About Rabbi Yehuda
A life of service, brought into the rabbinate
Rabbi Yehuda’s approach joins Jewish tradition, public service, psychology, and lived experience in a ministry centered on dignity and presence.
Rabbi Yehuda offers an approachable, modern path to Jewish ritual, learning, and pastoral presence. His work is grounded in the belief that people deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported—especially during life’s most meaningful and difficult moments.
Ordained through Rabbinical Seminary International, Rabbi Yehuda brings more than two decades of public-service leadership and a background in psychology to his rabbinate. That experience shapes a calm, practical, and compassionate approach to ceremony and care.
His ministry is pluralistic and open to anyone seeking respectful rabbinical support. Interfaith and LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families; people who are unaffiliated or Jewishly curious; and people across levels of observance are all welcome. He works collaboratively to create experiences that are authentically Jewish, personally meaningful, and respectful of each person’s story.
“The role of a rabbi is not always to have the perfect answer. Often, it is to help someone feel less alone while they find their way forward.”
