Creative Worship
Rabbi Judy has created hundreds of creative worship services for all sorts of occasions - Shabbat, Tot Shabbat, Havdalah, Purim, Pesach, Hanukah, Simchat Torah, Holocaust Remembrance and more. Her services are uplifting and inspiring and always include lots of music. She is able to provide music with or without instruments depending upon the setting and desires of the congregation.

Family Night Services
Every first Friday of the month, we will host a worship service that is inclusive of families with young children. These services will include participation by the children in our Religious School and feature prayers and music (often with guitar) that are more like what the children enjoy at Jewish summer camp. The services begin at 6 pm and all are welcome to attend.
Healing
A large part of Rabbi Judy's rabbinate is spent visting the sick, comforting them and their families and helping them to heal or accept the inevitable end of life. Rabbi Judy uses her soothing voice and music abilities to help comfort those in need of healing.
Rabbi Judy is there to comfort families in times of need. She has conducted many funerals and unveiling ceremonies. She customizes and personalizes each service and includes the beautiful chanting of the El Male prayer. Rabbi Judy is always very conscious of explaining Jewish rituals and customs to those who attend so that everyone learns and feels comfortable. Below is a video of a healing service Rabbi Judy offered during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
