Shalom!

I’m Jess Kerman. I’m an educator, artist, facilitator, and rabbi.

As a weaver of community, crafter of ritual, and meaning maker, I love helping people engage with their Judaism, delve in texts, and connect with spirituality in diverse ways.

With a background in education and a passion for fostering curiosity, my approach to teaching aims to inspire deep connections to our shared heritage.

As an artist, I explore the intersection of tradition and creativity, often using ceramics to bring ancient wisdom to life in contemporary expressions.

With a commitment to inclusivity, I guide individuals and communities in discovering the richness of their Jewish identity, fostering engagement, and building meaningful connections through shared experiences.

Whether facilitating rituals, teaching, or creating art, my goal is to empower others to find personal and communal significance in their Jewish journey.
