Shlichat Tzibur
Julie creates engaging and inspiring Jewish spiritual practice and ritual. She studied with Hazzanim Marc Dinkin and Pamela Sawyer and brings 16 years of congregational leadership experience to her work at Chochmat HaLev. With practical wisdom and heartfelt ritual facilitation, she supports our community as we welcome children, mark rites of passage, celebrate partnership, and move with grace through illness and death. Julie’s love of ritual, history, liturgy, and those she serves is palpable.
In addition to her congregational work, Julie’s independent bnei mitzvah training and facilitation practice primarily serves families who have not been members of synagogues, offering them the opportunity to (re)connect Jewishly in their families and the larger Jewish community.
