Born in Germany, educated and trained in Lower Saxony, I have lived in and with Jewish communities of various traditions for 37 years.
My focus is on the topics of pastoral care and lay leadership in the professional and Jewish world.
After my sons were grown, I studied Cantorate, Pedagogy and Pastoral Care for the Jewish Community Ministry at Abraham Geiger College and Jewish Theology at the University of Potsdam, receiving my Smicha leChasanut in 2024. I serve in the JL Gemeinde Region Kassel e.V. Emet weSchalom in Felsberg/North Hesse.
