Rabbi Wendy Drucker Pein This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it 914-323-5186 Rabbi Pein is a highly energetic and passionate teacher of Judaism and builder of community. She is devoted to re-invigorating Jewish communities by revealing the relevance of Jewish thought and practices to our modern 21st century lives. Rabbi Wendy earned a B.A. in Human Biology from Stanford University and an M. HL for Rabbic Ordination from Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion in New York. Rabbi Pein has ministered as Senior Rabbi of Congregation Adat Chaverim in Plano, Texas; Associate Rabbi of Congregation Emanu-El of Rey, New York; and , an instructor for the Union for Reform Judaism of New York. Presently, Rabbi Wendy is involved in Chai Mitzvah, an exciting new initiative which seeks to re-engage Jews in synagogue and Jewish communal life. The basic premise is that adult Jews be provided an opportunity to continue learning about Judaism from an age relevant perspective so that they come to see the relevance of Judaism to their personal circumstances. I work with local rabbis, lay leaders who serve as mentors, and community leaders to launch and implement this initiative at various Westchester synagogues. |
