Rabbinic Services

Collaboration & Partnership

For nearly three decades, my work has been interwoven with the work of my partner, Rabbi Jonathan Freirich. When I design a ketubah, write a text, or explore the meaning of Jewish ritual, our conversations are part of that creative process. When he leads a life cycle event, gives a sermon, or leads a service, my language and sensibility often echo through his words. Especially in the early days, I often created his supporting materials - the cards with the words the couples would read during their ring exchange, the intake forms, or the transliteration for shabbat or holiday services. His voice shines through my writing as well, his influence clear and bright, just as he is as a rabbi and person.

We’ve built parallel practices that speak to the same values: authenticity, integrity, and a belief that Jewish tradition is best when shared. On Ketubah Arts, these values show up through design, language, and processes which reflect inclusion and egalitarianism. On Jewish &, this appears through welcome, inclusion, and humor that helps people connect with Jewish wisdom on their own terms, open and human, whatever their starting point, all infused with his particular clarity and kindness.

The quiet dialogue between our projects is intentional: two perspectives, one shared commitment to meaning and care. Our work has always been collaborative, even when it looks separate. If you’ve worked with one of us, you’ve been supported by both of us through our mutually developed intellectual framework and our values. In our household, we say that we respect other people not because of who they are, but because of who we are.

You can learn more about Jonathan’s rabbinic services at Jewish & which is our joint project. As of now, it holds more of his work than mine, but eventually, we will offer an expanded line of Jewish projects that don’t fit into the narrower scope of Ketubah Arts.
