Course Description
This offering provides four (4) one-on-one spiritual direction for rabbinical students seeking deeper connection to self, calling, and the Divine throughout their formation. Sessions are spacious, nonjudgmental, and rooted in sacred listening. Students bring their evolving theology, doubts, dreams, or spiritual questions — and together we explore what’s stirring beneath the surface.
This is not academic instruction, but spiritual accompaniment. Open to students of all identities and traditions, with a particular sensitivity to those on the margins of traditional spiritual frameworks.

About Your Instructor
Rabbi Zachary went to PRS to help find his place in the Jewish world. Coming out of it, he realized it was his turn to hold space for others looking to explore their own spirituality. He focuses on personalizing practices so that everyone can feel wholly part of their Judaism.
