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!



Heart Sprung Open

Dearest Reb Marcia, 

One of the most beautiful Kol Nidre services I have ever attended was many moons ago, upstairs in the Parlor room of Summit Church where P’nai Or used to meet.  With standing room only, I remember standing along the wall and you began to sing….”All I ask of you is forever to remember me, as loving you.”  

All at once my heart sprung open and tears of joy, grief, relief & love poured through me.  I have called upon that moment many times over the years with your loving face coming to mind & heart.  

Thank you!  

Thank you for your commitment, depth of presence, & the true joy with which you walk and share this Jewish Spiritual Path.  May your journey from this moment on, be a Path of Many Blessings in All Ways and for Always.

In Love, Respect & Gratitude,
