As author, educator, clinical pastoral education supervisor, and media personality, he seeks to apply of the power of Jewish traditions and wisdom to the modern experience of being human. Rabbi Weiss teaches us how to seek answers to the “big” questions that arise when we (or those we love) face life’s biggest challenges and changes.
Rabbi Weiss enables those who seek to embrace every aspect of being alive—even the most difficult—as a chance to grow in wisdom, and to connect with your Jewish heritage in a new way. You are sure to find his warmth and sensitivity both inspiring and comforting.
