rabbi lynn's rabbinic jubileeIn 5733, when there were only 7 women rabbis in the world, Rabbi Lynn stood on the bimah at Temple Beth Or of the deaf for the first time as a rabbi serving the Jewish community. This coming year marks 50 years of activist-artist rabbinic life!
To celebrate this milestone, Rabbi Lynn will share a series of offerings over the course of 5783 that reflect the roads she’s traveled and what she’s learned in her work carving paths for revolutionary prophetic voices and new expressions of Judaism within a more just world. |
