B’ruchim ha’baim, welcome.

My name is Rabbi Michal Loving, and I am a community rabbi in southern California.
It may sound trite, but I honestly believe that our world is an amazing, awe-inspiring place, and that living a Jewish life helps us appreciate what we have, and gives us a lens through which to constantly improve ourselves and the world around us. I find deep meaning in helping others explore their personal spirituality and their connection to the the larger Jewish community. No matter our religious background, gender, sexual identity, or family situation, there is always, always, a place for us within Judaism. No one's journey is the same. I look forward to accompanying you on yours. |

"[T]he purpose of Judaism – and the purpose of relationships – is to love the other and the Other, the thou and the Thou. When you do, you find meaning – an understanding of the significance of life; you find purpose – an imperative to do what you are put on earth to do during your life; you find belonging – a community of people who will be there for you and with you; and you find blessing – a feeling of deep satisfaction and gratitude, a calendar and life cycle of opportunities to celebrate the gifts of life."
