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!



Rebbe of the heart

Reb Marcia has been a tremendous influence on me as my "Rebbe of the heart," from my time in the ALEPH Rabbinic program and beyond.

When I stood with presence and lead something with a lot of spirit, my mother of blessed memory, Betty Hilton, used to say, "you were channeling Reb Marcia!" Before every wedding I lead a meditation on "seeing one another" that Reb Marcia taught us, and evoke the family's blessings, and every couple says that it was the most meaningful part of the wedding.

Thank you, Reb Marcia, for shaping and leading the ALEPH Rabbinic program and for everything you have taught me through your teaching and through your example.
