I was born in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. I have been rabbi of ADATH since 2001. I am also a Sessional Lecturer at McGill University Faculty of Law. I serve an active role at Auberge Shalom…pour femmes, Maison Shalom, BJEC Moot Bet Din, Cote St. Luc / Hampstead / Snowdon Eruv, Baron de Hirsch Cemetery, Rabbinical Council Conversion Program, and Rabbinical Council of America. I am past president of the Rabbinical Council of Montreal and past president of the Greater Montreal Board of Rabbis.
Before coming to Montreal, I served as rabbi of Young Israel of Metairie in New Orleans, Louisiana, for four years, and as rabbi of Young Israel of New Haven, in New Haven, Connecticut, for fourteen years. During that time, I worked at Yale University Hillel and taught at Yale University Law School.
