Aaron has spent most of his life deeply involved in Jewish community and education. He has spent 16 summers at the Wilshire Boulevard Temple camps serving as a counselor, Ropes Course Director, and most recently as a Unit Head and Educator. A graduate of Emory University with a Bachelor’s degree in Middle Eastern Studies, he spent his time outside of the classroom involved in Hillel, dancing, and rock climbing. Aaron’s love for Judaism, Israel, and social justice are all deeply connected, and as a result Aaron has participated in Avodah, AJWS’s volunteer summer in Uganda, Nativ, and Yeshivat Hadar’s year fellowship. Before rabbinical school, Aaron worked for OneTable as the New York Hub Manager, where he worked with the 20’s and 30’s community of the greater New York area in hosting their own Shabbat dinners and creating an individualized sacred practice. Aaron is a rabbinical student at JTS, expecting to graduate in 2023, where he is working to continue to pursue his passion of creating progressive, spiritual, and joyous Jewish community.
