Rabbi Juliet Elkind-Cruz

 was ordained as a Jewish Spiritual Director through the Aleph Ordination Program three years ago, and was recently ordained as a rabbi through the same program. As a rabbi, I bring awareness and experience with social justice. This feeds into my rabbinic work, and the Torah commentary I’ve been writing weekly for almost three years now. I publish my writing on my website and also send it out to some two hundred subscribers. Privately, I work with clients who come to me for Spiritual Direction. I have also formed a collective of Jewish women clergy that seeks to live the paradigm shift that is happening in the world today, and I love creating rituals for life cycle events.
