Rabbinic and Pastoral Services
Rabbi Jay Michaelson has officiated at weddings, funerals, and other lifecycle events for over ten years. Â Now an ordained rabbi, and licensed by the State of New York, he regularly convenes sacred spaces for important life transitions, as well as retreats, workshops, and synagogue services. Â Rabbi Michaelson is fully fluent with Reform, Conservative, Renewal, Reconstructionist, and Orthodox Jewish ritual forms, though most often he creates new and innovative rituals combining traditional and contemporary elements. Â Often, these include meditation, poetry, and, where appropriate, music and embodied practices as well.
