Creating meaningful experiences rooted in the Jewish story.
Whether bringing people together for a life-cycle event, exploring Jewish texts and traditions through a modern lens, or writing books for children and teens, my goal is to help people find themselves in our sacred stories.

Jon and I were absolutely thrilled with our ketubah signing ceremony and marriage ceremony. Rabbi Berkowitz created a welcoming environment for those familiar and unfamiliar with Jewish customs and traditions. The ceremony was true to the two of us, and our families. The ceremony added a depth and sanctity to our wedding (and the beginning of our marriage), just in the way we had hoped."

Just had an extraordinary weekend with Rabbi Leah Berkowitz as our scholar-in-residence. She shared her passion for midrash with learners of all ages, with sessions for adults Friday night, Shabbat morning, and at Havdalah, and with kids this morning. The adults kept coming back, and we sold out of her books...And our folks had a great time getting to know her informally. I highly recommend her as a scholar-in-residence!"

Rabbi Berkowitz has an easy and natural way with children, and her connection with them was palpable. I think the third through sixth graders would have happily stayed in the sanctuary asking questions and engaging with her all day if we had let them. I love how inspiring she was regarding writing, and that she left them all with so much to think about. Thank you for giving so much of yourself and for providing such an enriching program for our kids."
