Special Edition of Fresh Eyes on Ancient Teachings with (soon to be Rabbi) Ben Varon, JTS Rabbi Bernard Lipnick Award Recipient Monday, May 9 beginning at 5:00 pm
Ben Varon is passionate about egalitarian Judaism and wants to inspire people to find personally meaningful Jewish practice. As a fifth-year rabbinical student at The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS), he enjoys the intellectual challenge of his academic studies and is excited to see where his spiritual journey to the rabbinate will lead. Ben is currently serving, for a second year, as the rabbinic intern at Shaarei Tikvah in Westchester County, New York. Last summer, Ben fulfilled his JTS requirement of completing a unit of clinical pastoral education with a placement in the Behavioral Health Unit at NYU Langone Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. Ben spent two years as the rabbinic intern at the University of Maryland and one year as the family educator at the Orangetown Jewish Center's Kulanu religious school program. Ben also spent two summers as a Rosh Edah (unit head) at Camp Ramah Nyack in New York.
Before starting rabbinical school, Ben worked for United Synagogue Youth (USY), first as Program Coordinator for summer programs and then as Director of the New York Region. When not working or studying, he enjoys socializing with friends, traveling, and watching sports. He graduated with a BA in Government and Politics from the University of Maryland. Ben grew up in New City, New York and currently lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Please contact Amy Maupin at 314-576-9990 x131 or email amy@bnaiamoona.com for more information.
