about me

I am thoroughly interfaith ~ ordained as a rabbi and endorsed as a chaplain by the Humanist Society. I have been an interfaith chaplain for 20 years ~ I trained at New York University's Medical Center and was board certified as a clinical chaplain by the Spiritual Care Association.

I volunteer as a correspondent with people who are incarcerated and have been a visiting volunteer at the Federal Detention Center is Brooklyn, New York.

I visit people in nursing care facilities in the New York City area. I have trained in end-of-life pastoral care, and talk with people by phone about choices and values that are part of end-of-life planning.

My daily work is as a social worker ~ I work with people who are referred to me through their insurance plans.
