What did you do before Shir Tikvah?
I was ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in 1975. After working in the Conservative movement until 1985, I entered the Reform movement and founded The Rashi School, New England’s Reform Jewish Day School. I resigned from the Conservative movement and became an official member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis (the official Reform rabbinic organization) in 1989. From 1992 until I came to Shir Tikvah, I was bi-synagogal, serving as the Rabbi of Temple Beth Israel in Waltham (where I was between 1986–97) and as the Educator at Temple Sinai in Brookline.
