The World Celebrates Rabbi Marcia Prager

Rabbi Marcia Prager, an inspirational Jewish Renewal spiritual leader, teacher, guide, and colleague, has become a model for a new generation of lay and professional leadership. Through her, many of us have forged an intimate, passionate relationship with Judaism, with the divine in all of us, and thus, with each other.

The P'nai Or Philadelphia Jewish Renewal community is grateful that in 5772 (2011) R. Marcia celebrated 18 years of serving as our Rabbi-Chaver. In her honor, friends from around the world shared these many stories, poems, and loving tributes, to show our gratitude and naches at this wonderful milestone!



Helping to Make the Message Clear

I am sitting here working on my Rosh Hashanah sermon, trying to decide how much to keep in or leave out, when the image of Reb Marcia making the 'cutting' signal with her 2 fingers comes to me and I delete whole sentences until the message is clearer. Thank you for helping me hone my skills as a prayer leader, not just in sermon writing but much more in all areas. DLTI3 was one of the best experiences in my life. I miss the camaraderie, and the interaction with Cantor Jack and Reb Shawn.
 
Your teachings live on all these years later every time I run a service but also every time I davenn. May you go from strength to strength and may Hashem give you many years of health to carry on your important work.
