Rabbi Paul Offenkrantz D.M.

With 25 years of experience on the pulpit, I bring a wealth of knowledge, skill and integrity to every worship service.

 

  On the bimah I see myself - not as as performer or entertainer - but as a K'lay Kodesh: a vessel through which the sacred longings and yearnings of the Jewish People (as well as all who seek to experience a connection with God) are given voice. Through the gift of music, I encourage and empower those who are on a sacred "journey" to look within themselves and those around them to discover the "spark" of the Divine Presence which - as Jewish Tradition teaches - resides within each and every one of us.

 

My work has been described as:

 

"inspirational"

"powerful"

"profound"

"creative"

"passionate"

"heartfelt"

"compelling"

"uplifting"

"gorgeous"

"inclusive and embracing"

"empowering"

"masterful"

"invigorating"

"refreshing"

 

Whether for the High Holy Days, a Shabbat or Festival Service, or special occasion within your community,

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss ways in which I might be able to enhance your worship.
