Rabbinic Offerings •
Chel welcomes Jews of all backgrounds—secular or non-practicing—Jew(ish) individuals, the Jewish-curious, and non-Jews, embracing a big-tent, fully inclusive approach to Jewish life.
Chel’s rabbinic work is rooted in deep presence, creativity, and a belief that every person deserves access to meaningful Jewish ritual, learning, and spiritual care. They specialize in holding space for Jews who have often been pushed to the margins of traditional institutions—queer and trans Jews, unaffiliated and secular Jews, Jews in non-traditional family structures, non-monogamous and polyamorous folks, anti-Zionist and non-Zionist Jews, and anyone who is questioning, curious, or actively unpacking their relationship to Zionism, identity, and belonging. Chel also offers gentle and grounded support around grief, death, and end-of-life transitions.
They approach each offering with intention, collaboration, and respect for individual journeys. Whether you’re reconnecting with Judaism, exploring spirituality for the first time, or seeking guidance through a life transition, Chel brings compassion, grounding, and imagination to the experience.

ritual support
Life is full of thresholds, and each one deserves to be honored.
