Consulting
ִּכִּי יִפָּלֵא מִמְּךָ דָבָר... וּבָאתָ אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם וְאֶל־הַשֹּׁפֵט אֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם וְדָרַשְׁתָּ ...
If a matter is baffling to you...go to the Priests, or the Levites, or the Judges of your time and consult with them...
- Devarim/Deuteronomy 17:8-9
What do the people want!? How can we engage young Jews? How can we engage old Jews? How can we engage future Jews? What even is engagement!? I don’t know any certain answers to these questions, but I do have my finger on the pulse and I would be happy to share my opinions and expertise with you and your community.
In most of my consulting work (see my CV/resume) I have specialized in youth and young-adult engagement and programming. My whole background is in education and I am a firm believer in, and practitioner of, informal experiential learning. I know how to make Jewish history and Jewish practice fun while maintaining a serious and rigorous approach. And I also have a long and successful history of teaching and elevating content for adults. It is challenging to be humble when I’m trying to sell my consulting abilities, but I’m fun and I know what’s up. I’ll meet with you and members of your community, I’ll help you assess how you can elevate, improve, and engage. I’ll be part of the solution for your community.
