Elizabeth Breit is a rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary expecting to graduate in 2022. She holds a BA in Religious Studies from Yale College and a Masters of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School. Elizabeth has worked as a mediator in small claims court, chaplain, leader of adventure travel trips around the world, and teacher for kids ranging in age from 6-18 in French, Arabic, Hebrew, and Spanish. She loved all these jobs. They may seem wildly different, but in effect they were the same: accompanying people through challenges and new places, with all the thrill, fear, conflict, joy, sadness, curiosity, and being hopelessly-flat-out-terrifyingly lost that go with them. She is building her rabbinate on finding divinity in difficult places — divinity as hope, discovery, a new connection, or the view from the top of a mountain. In her spare time, Elizabeth is probably outside, upside down, or dancing.
