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!



A True Inspiration to Others


Reb Marcia embodies all those qualities that leaders and mensches should embody: kindness, generosity, humility -- while also being a true inspiration to others, always nudging us to be our best and try our hardest. Her heart is tethered, like a balloon, to the fate of the Jewish people, and it's impossible to be around her and not also become swept away. Thank you, Marcia, for being a rabbi not just of Am Israel, but being a rabbi's rabbi, too. It is an honor to know you and call you "friend."
