Rabbi Michael’s favorite thing to do is talk to people, so please be in touch to set up a time to talk!

Michael holds a B.A. in Political Science from Williams College—further proof that your liberal arts major doesn’t determine your future work. After college he received a Fulbright fellowship to live and study in Peru. Michael was ordained by the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 2012. Before coming to Swarthmore he worked as College Rabbi and Hillel Director at Ursinus College. When he's not at Swarthmore Michael serves as co-chair of the board of the New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia, an interfaith, immigrant-led movement for justice and dignity for immigrants, spends time with his family and, when he's lucky, gets to play soccer.
