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!



Deepening of my heart's prayer

I honor Reb Marcia as a teacher who has played a special role in shaping me as a service leader. Along with Rabbi Shawn Zevit of DLTI, Reb Marcia helped move me from concern for the mechanics of service leadership to the deepening of my own heart's prayer. She helped me locate and access the spiritual aquifer from which great service leaders draw their strength and inspiration. Many thanks, Reb Marcia! I wish you many long years of continued service!
