​B’ruchim ha’baim, welcome.​

My name is Rabbi Michal Loving, and my pronouns are she/her/hers.

​My favorite part of being a rabbi is listening to people's stories.  And the more I listen, the more I realize that our personal stories are always reflected in the larger Jewish narrative. There is a place for each of us in the wider Jewish tent, no matter our background.

​Are you here because you seek a deeper sense of spirituality in your own life, or are wondering if choosing Judaism is right for you?  Is there a baby in your life who needs a Jewish name, or a pre-teen looking for a guide through the B'nai Mitzvah process? Would you like a rabbi to officiate at your wedding, but are not quite sure how to get started? 

​I am called to help connect you to Judaism in a way that brings you meaning.  Each of our stories are unique, and our spiritual journeys take their own individual, sometimes meandering, paths.  I don't know where yours will lead, and you might not either.  And that's okay. It is my honor to accompany you along your way, so that we may find out together.
