Rabbi Rachel Dorit Goldberg

Rabbi Rachel Dorit Goldberg was ordained by the AOP in January 2024, and completed the AOP Hashpa’ah program in January 2022. She lives in Jerusalem, Israel where she recently served as the Rabbinic Intern at Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies supporting the administration of the Year Program, serving as a pastoral presence amidst the student community, and pushed the envelope in terms of Jewish pluralism, particularly in the arena of t’filah/prayer. She also served as the Ritual Coordinator at the Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center, the organization that is home to the Conservative Yeshiva, where she led initiatives to establish intercollegiate community among rabbinical students from the AOP, HUC, JTS, Maharat, Hebrew College, AJRCA, Yashrut, and the CY Omek Program. She is currently serving as a student chaplain at the French Hospital in Jerusalem, and Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, as well as offering Hashpah’ah 1:1 through her private practice, serving faculty roles with My Jewish Learning and The Jewish Learning Collaborative, and leading weekly t’filah online for Mishkan Chicago, where she held a student pulpit for many years. Rachel also has expertise in pedagogy and curriculum design with licensure and training in Secondary Social Studies Education from the University of Iowa and nearly 20 years of experience in the field of education as a program director, designer, facilitator, producer, and international community builder. Recognizing education as a vehicle for transformation and healing, Rabbi Rachel brings an intentional focus to the latent curriculum throughout the process of program vision and design.
