Amanda Katherine Weiss is a rabbinical student at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, expecting to graduate in 2023. Hailing from a small village in Rockland County, NY she has lived up and down the east coast for much of her life, excepting a four-year stint in Eugene, OR. A graduate of The George Washington University, Amanda majored in Judaic Studies and Psychology, holds a Graduate Certificate in Jewish Non-Profit Management from Gratz College, a Masters in Business Administration from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, and most recently, a Certificate in Jewish Education Specializing in Adolescents and Emerging Adults through Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. For over a decade, Amanda has worked as an informal Jewish educator with synagogues, yeshivot, and Hillels at the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and Cornell University. In her free time, you can find Amanda experimenting with different art forms, bargain hunting, or (slowly!) running.
