Why JewishPaths™?

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us feel a tug toward something deeper, a spiritual connection that feels more aligned with who we are. If you’ve been feeling that pull—wondering how to bring more meaning and Jewish wisdom into your life—you’re in the right place. We get it. Life can be complicated, and with so many demands, it’s easy to feel disconnected from the roots that ground and link members of the Jewish community to our rich tradition and to each other. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

That’s why I’m excited to share JewishPaths™ with you—Our series of online courses and coaching offerings have the singular goal of helping Jews discover their unique connection to Judaism, and bring it to life in a way that feels real and fulfilling. This isn’t about doing things the “right” way or ticking boxes. It’s about exploring what Judaism can mean for you, personally. Together, we’ll look at the beliefs, rituals, and practices that resonate with you, and figure out how to weave them into your life in a way that feels natural and authentic.

What do you offer?

JewishPaths™ offers transformative online courses, and both group and individual spiritual life coaching. You can also tune into the Four-Worlds Farbrengen podcast, featuring Jewish teachings from a progressive lens, and interviews with special guests from across the Jewish world.

At JewishPaths™, we believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to explore and deepen their connection to Judaism in a way that resonates with them personally, and without dogma. Our thoughtfully crafted online courses are designed to empower Jewish adults—whether you’re a curious beginner or seeking advanced knowledge—to embrace and enhance your Jewish identity.

Discover engaging classes that cover a wide range of topics, from the rich tapestry of Jewish history and culture to practical lessons on observance, spirituality, and community engagement.

In addition to Out of Egypt: Design Your Authentic Jewish Life, other courses being developed for 2025 include the topics of mussar/Jewish ethics (including text study), halakha (Jewish law), how to keep kosher, and blessings. Your course suggestions are very much welcome! Please send us a message through the Contact tab.

Whether you’re looking to enrich your Shabbat experience, understand the significance of holidays, or delve into contemporary issues facing the Jewish world today, our diverse offerings will help you design your authentic Jewish life.

Who am I?

Good to meet you and shalom aleikhem! I’m Rabbi Andrea, and for years I was part of the Orthodox Jewish world. I attended a Chabad-Lubavitch elementary school for a few years, and later in my teens, I attended the Ivy League Torah Study Program offered by Chabad, and immersed myself in classical Jewish texts. I found myself inspired by the writings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of blessed memory, and met him on two occasions, during Sunday audiences where people lined up to receive fresh, crisp dollar bills and give brakhot (blessings) to each and every person who came to see him. It was expected that each person would then give a dollar to tzedakah (charity).

While that experience shaped me in many profound ways, I eventually felt called to forge my own path within the Jewish community—one that felt more aligned with who I am and the broader, more pluralistic vision of Judaism I wanted to live. Along this very different path, I earned a Master’s in Religious Studies with a focus on Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), the ancient Near East, and early Judaism, and a PhD in Religion, with a specialization in rabbinics. I also received rabbinical ordination. In addition, I am a certified life and spiritual coach, blending my academic and spiritual knowledge with practical tools for personal growth. I’ve created a vibrant, fulfilling Jewish life in my own way, and now, as a coaching rabbi, I’m passionate about helping others do the same. It would be my honor to guide you to design a Jewish life that feels true to you, one step at a time.

I’ve seen time and time again that when people embrace their heritage in a way that’s meaningful for them, it opens up a whole new world of connection, joy, and purpose. So whether you’re looking to reconnect with traditions, dive deeper into Jewish learning, or simply find more balance in your spiritual life, I’m here to help guide you on that journey.

Jewish Life Coaching for a Complex World

"Rabbi Andrea has helped me think consciously about what I do and how I do it, seamlessly guiding me from the highest levels of meaning—how I want to live my life—to the most mundane details required to push past confusion and assert control over my actions. In her coaching, Andrea’s questions effortlessly range from the big-picture questions—What is your purpose? What are your goals?—to the nitty-gritty of drawing up a to-do list."

-Larry Y.

"Through our short time together R’ Andrea’s coaching played a pivotal role in my personal growth and development journey. I have gained a deeper understanding of my values and strengths, and have been able to set clear goals for myself. Her focused support and encouragement helped me navigate through a challenging crossroad, and I am truly grateful for the positive impact she has had."
