Rabbi Lizz Goldstein
ואהבת לרעך כמוך |
You Shall Love Your Neighbor as Yourself. |
(Leviticus 19:18)

She completed her undergraduate studies in 2010 at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA with a concentration in genocide studies. She received her Masters in Jewish Studies from Gratz College in 2015, and ordination from the Academy of Jewish Religion in 2016. She moved to Northern Virginia to serve Ner Shalom and the surrounding community shortly following ordination.
