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!



Opening the Door

Dear Marcia,
Since coming to P'nai Or eight years or so ago, you have been a guide, mentor, rabbi and friend to me and I am blessed and grateful.  Meeting you and experiencing the reality that a Rabbi could be strong and impactful yet remain humble opened the door for me to walk my rabbinic path that God has called me to.  Seeing you "sweeping the floor" after observing you skillfully and spiritually guide a Steering Council meeting was a moment that changed my destiny. 
 Thank you.
 Love and many blessings,
 Abby
