A nationally recognized and dynamic Jewish leader, Rabbi Shira Stutman will visit Tidewater next month as part of the Lee & Bernard Jaffe Family Jewish Book Festival. As the full-time rabbi of Aspen Jewish Congregation, she is known for bringing Jewish wisdom to life in ways that are both meaningful and practical. Rabbi Stutman is also the co-host of the popular podcast Chutzpod, where she addresses contemporary questions through a Jewish lens.
Rabbi Stutman previously served as the founding rabbi of Washington, D.C.’s Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, where she became a national leader in creating welcoming, inclusive communities. She has been honored as one of The Forward’s “Most Inspiring Rabbis” and recognized by T’ruah as a Rabbinic Human Rights Hero for her commitment to justice and impact on Jewish life.
In her new book, The Jewish Way to a Good Life, Rabbi Stutman shows how timeless Jewish values can help guide toward lives of purpose, connection, and meaning.
This program is presented in partnership with United Jewish Federation of Tidewater’s Konikoff Center for Learning.
