An Introductory Interview with
Rabbi Goldie Milgram
Resume
Rabbi Goldie Milgram, "Reb Goldie," is founder and Executive Director of Reclaiming Judaism. Passionate about bringing spirituality back into Jewish life, she is well-known for her innovations in the training of rabbis and cantors, having served for almost seven years as a dean, teacher and innovator at The Academy for Jewish Religion in New York City. Her newest initiative is called the B-Mitzvah Family Adventure, a traveling, national program offering bar/bat mitzvah students, families and educators a series of workshops which greatly expand the meaning and spirituality of the preparation process and special day. Rabbi Milgram often travels as a teacher of Judaism and Jewish spirituality, most recently to Holland, Germany, South Africa, Venezuela and Paris. In the years 2000-2003 she also facilitated workshops and retreats for the United Jewish Communities (UJA/CJF), Hadassah, National Council of Jewish Women, the National Havurah Institute, Kripalu, Esalen and many congregations.
Rabbi Milgram also volunteers as a teacher of Jewish women and their daughters living in the former Soviet Union under the auspices of Project Kesher. Dubbed "Reb Goldie" by a Squarer Rebbe during a trip to the Ukraine, the appellation has stuck and come to reflect her style of rabbinate. | |
