I joined Sha’arei Tsedek as Principal Rabbi in January 2018. I was ordained at Leo Baeck College in 2004 and am passionate about learning as well as teaching. I love bringing joy and meaning to our community’s experience of prayer and learning, from our younger members to the B’nei Mitzvah programme, and supporting adult learners who want to take an active role in synagogue life. I also teach the next generation of rabbis at Leo Baeck College and have published articles on Reform Jewish practice, including Loving Your Neighbour as Yourself in Who Is My Neighbour (SPCK, 2018). My seminal article on the distinctiveness of Reform Halachah can be read here. I live with my partner, Rebekka Wedell, a composer and music director, and our two daughters.
