Confessions of a Female Rabbi: Relevant Religion in an On-Demand World

by Rabbi Rebecca Keren Jablonski

Believe it or not, all religions evolve and change. As church and synagogue attendance is in record decline, this young female rabbi has found a way to meet families from a variety of backgrounds in the modern world and help them connect with the traditions and practice that they crave. Rabbi Rebecca Keren Jablonski has served world-wide, bringing bespoke and creative religious experiences to those who sought spirituality outside of institutions and denominational confines.

With disruptor brands changing the way we consume products and information, religion is also in need of a 3,000 year-old facelift, or at least a mini makeover. There is room in the pews for new leaders with innovative strategies and approaches to keep religion relevant and meaningful in today’s times. Confessions of a Female Rabbi traces the changes in our current multi-faith landscape, hone in on what’s happening with the Jewish American community, and demonstrate through case studies how she’s been successful delivering transformations for families through the prism of religious practice and observance. These confessions express her unique perspective, personal and collective shortcomings, and reveal her insights as a reflective and relatable spiritual facilitator.

Touching universal stories of birth, coming of age, weddings, divorce, conversion, and sacred times affirm the deeper meaning we all can find if we make space for something holy in the circle of life.

As someone who has built a career fostering community—be it in boutique fitness, workplace transformation or listening spaces—I've witnessed firsthand what it means for people to feel like they are a part of something bigger than themselves. Rabbi Rebecca’s approach to modern religion has resonated deeply with my family and countless others.
