My name is Rabbi Chana!
I wear two hats — I have a deep passion for teaching Hebrew Bible, and I’m also a rabbi, so I also have a broad range of Jewish knowledge.

My name is Rabbi Chana!
I wear two hats — I have a deep passion for teaching Hebrew Bible, and I’m also a rabbi, so I also have a broad range of Jewish knowledge.
In teaching Bible, my main emphasis is on the use of modern approaches to the biblical text (which I initially learned via the Department of Hebrew Bible at the Jewish Theological Seminary), which I find make learning and teaching the biblical text illuminating and exciting. And the fact that I’m a rabbi means I can help relate this to current Jewish ideas and ways of living.
I excel at teaching adults (both Jewish and non-Jewish), and I’ve worked extensively with the pre-B’nai Mitzvah age group. I have taught adult education (one-on-one or in small groups) in Hebrew Bible and on various Jewish topics, and have 15 years’ experience at Jewish summer camps as well. I have a BA (Phi Beta Kappa) in Religion from Swarthmore College, and an MA and Rabbinic Ordination from JTS (Conservative).
If you are interested in learning about Judaism generally, besides the wealth of knowledge I’ve acquired, I’m also good at explaining how the various aspects of Judaism are connected.
And if you would like to embark on a voyage in Hebrew Bible that will enrich your understanding (and, occasionally, blow your mind!), please get in touch with me.
Thanks!
