Hello! I'm Rabbi Melissa Starr Wenig and spend most of the year in Sarasota FLA and the summers in New England.  I teach Torah as a spiritual path and love the ritual work of creating weddings, baby-namings, bar/bat mitzvah and other life-cycle events. 

 A teacher for many years, I  put my love of teaching together with my passion for Judaism and was ordained as a rabbi by the ALEPH Rabbinic Seminary, a trans-denominational program.

I look forward to talking with you about your needs for learning or a life-cycle journey.  My goal is to connect you with the essence of and the joy in the experience you are seeking. Together, we become co-creators in a process that is unique,spiritual and meaningful. This is my joyful service.

 I invite you to call me at 617-821-1104 or email me at rabbimelissa@me.com
