Rabbi Caleb Brommer

Caleb Brommer is a rabbi, educator, and ba'al tefilah (prayer leader) committed to learning and sharing a living Torah. He currently serves as the rabbi and spiritual leader of Temple Beth-El in Ithaca, New York.


He came to the rabbinate through the world of Jewish education and is committed to learning and sharing a living Torah. Rabbi Brommer centers a rigorous, reflective, reverent, and revolutionary approach to Jewish material and tradition, and strives towards a Jewish world where we are all committed to one another, to humanity, to the earth, and to the Divine (whatever that means!).

He is invested in developing the Jewish devotional practices of prayer, song, text learning, language learning, and community organizing. But his primary concern is providing spiritual and pastoral care for those in his community.

In his free time, Rabbi Brommer plays music, bowls, cooks, hikes, and camps with his wife and chevrutah Rebecca, and their dog Caper.
