Hi, everyone! I’m Rabbi Michal Loving.
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 find their own connection to God and the Jewish community, and through imparting the joy of our incredibly rich traditions to others. Judaism is all about forming relationships with each other and with God, and no matter one’s background or family situation, there is always a place for us within the Jewish community, culture, and faith.
As far as my own background, I hold a B.A. in English and Philosophy from Whittier College, a M.A. in Philosophy from California State University Long Beach, and rabbinical ordination from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in 2012. I've been lucky enough to serve congregations as a student rabbi in Mattoon, IL, Richmond, IN, and Marion, IN; as a rabbi-educator in Sacramento, CA; and as a senior rabbi in Coral Springs, FL. Currently I live in southern CA and serve the greater Los Angeles community.
When I'm not loving and living Judaism, I spend my free time reading, watching sci-fi and fantasy movies, and playing Minecraft with my husband and three young sons. I also make an excellent fruit smoothie!
