Rabbi Paul Offenkrantz D.M.

To provide the very highest level of professional service for the creation, enhancement, and facilitation of unique and personalized "life cycle" events, including weddings ceremonies, Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparation and services, funerals, unveilings, and baby naming ceremonies, as well as other important milestones that deserve to be acknowledged with integrity and beauty.

 

To work closely with those I serve to create a spiritual experience that is most meaningful and inspirational for them.

 

To welcome and embrace creativity, inclusivity, diversity and modernity as appropriate ways to express and honor the fundamental tenets of Jewish belief and tradition.

 

To serve all who seek the presence and skill of an experienced and ordained member of the Jewish clergy without regard to synagogue affiliation, religious or cultural background, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or level of Judaic knowledge and observance, with an open mind and heart.

 

To treat everyone with the courtesy, kindness and respect that reflects the Jewish teaching that humanity was created b’tzelem Elohim  (in the "image of God") and that each of us holds a precious spark of the Divine Presence within us.
