Shalom mishpachah! Hi, fam!

I’m Rabbi Esther and when I’m not rabbi’ing, wrangling my small tribe of 3 kiddos, & creating (while sipping industrial amounts of Earl Grey), I’m casting vision for a passionate, inclusive, transformative Jewish future.

The mission of ‘A Small Sanctuary’ is to empower Jews & the Jew-curious to take Jewish wisdom into the ‘small sanctuaries’ of their home with beauty, purpose and joy. Judaism’s audacious claim is that we can make every aspect of our lives holy, ethical & beautiful.

Prompted by our egalitarian values, ‘A Small Sanctuary’ is an affirming, inclusive space for gender & LGBTQ equality. The ‘Small Sanctuary’ community is a bold, non-fundamentalist place where we are passionate Jews, fall in love with God and drink from the deep wells of the tradition.
Shalom uv’rachah, with peace and blessings… from my ‘bayit’ (house) to your ‘bayit’.
