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!



Joy In Her Path

The stand-out sense I have had for years of Reb Marcia, and each encounter with her has only strengthened this sense, is one of great joy and deep acceptance--joy in her path, joy in her connection with God, joy in each of us who have crossed her path on our own journey, acceptance of each of us where we are on that path, and ultimately, an encompassing vision of what we can achieve on this collective journey to God.

Thank you Reb Marcia for accepting me with such deep appreciation that teaches me to believe in myself. You are the most eloquent model of opening up, in every way, to experiencing God.

Blessings always,
Judith Lyons
