FROM MELISSA
I was ordained by the ALEPH Rabbinic Seminary, a trans-denominational program, as a rabbinic pastor in 2005 and as a rabbi in January 2010.

I am now the part time interim spiritual leader at Congregation Ahavas Achim in Newburyport, Massachusetts and from time to time a prayer leader at B’nai Or of Boston.

I travel all over the New England area, leading, teaching Torah, bringing families together for rite-of-passage events along with officiating weddings and other lifecycle occasions. I have been spotted in the Berkshires, the White Mountains, the Green Mountains and even Mexico and St. John, V.I. I am truly a "roving rabbi" and I serve whoever needs me. I truly love what I do.

I will be happy to speak with you on any matter. You can reach me at 617 868 5296 or melisjoel@mac.com.
