Our Rabbi - Emily Holtzman
Emily Holtzman, a native of Los Angeles, is entering her final two years
at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles. Emily earned
degrees in Art History and Judaic Studies from the University of
Oregon. While at Oregon, she was active in student leadership at
Hillel as well as her sorority. Emily also holds MAs in Jewish Studies
and Jewish Education with an emphasis in Experiential Education from
Hebrew College.
Throughout the past decade and a half, Emily has served as an educator administrator for both Temple Adat Elohim in Thousand Oaks as well as IKAR in Los Angeles. She has also been an educator in both the summer camp setting as well as in the religious school setting working with various camps and synagogues.
Emily is grateful to have had opportunities to learn with different types of organizations in the Jewish world. She is particularly proud of her experiences with The Shalom Hartman Institute, The iCenter, SVARA: a Traditionally Radical Yeshiva and Pardes. As an educator, Emily’s goal is to help strengthen and develop Jewish identity. With a passion for Jewish texts, and a focus on inclusion, Emily strives to create meaningful experiences for all Jews looking to connect in both their Jewish and secular lives.
