If I asked you to picture a Rabbi, you may have a specific type of person in mind and that person most likely wouldn’t have the Instagram handle @myhotrabbi. Today’s guest is challenging these stereotypes and paving a path of her own sharing Judaism in a joyful way. This week on We Can Be Real I’m joined by Rabbi Rebecca to discuss confessions of a female Rabbi.

Rebecca Keren Eisenstadt is a Rabbi and private educator. She obtained semicha from Mesifta Adas Wolkowisk in New York. She graduated with Honors from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Rebecca also graduated from the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Rockville, MD. Rebecca has been working as an on-demand Rabbi, B'nai Mitzvah, Hebrew and Judaic Studies tutor for more than 15 years, combining her loves of Judaism, music, and performance. She works with various synagogues in Manhattan and is affiliated with several Rabbis in the US and Israel. She also officiates weddings, funerals, baby namings, bespoke holiday gatherings and other Jewish life cycle events. Rebecca works with several charities to benefit veterans and the needy. Rebecca is currently developing a follow-documentary series about her busy life as a young female Rabbi.

In this episode, Rebecca and I discuss:

  • Why Rebecca actively avoids labeling herself.
  • Challenging the stereotypes of what it means to be a Rabbi while respecting the rules- and it all starts by being comfortable in your own skin.
  • Insight for anyone who may be struggling with their faith in God after experiencing pain.
  • Reframing this idea that you have to be all in to practice religion the “right way.”
  • The themes and topics covered in Rebecca’s upcoming book, Confessions of a Female Rabbi.
