ELI Talks's video: Getting Ritual: Making Meaningful Jewish Moments

"I had begun my marriage under a chuppah, I had begun it in a Jewish way. I needed to end my marriage in a Jewish way too." A rabbi shares her intentional journey towards the creation of a ritual to transition from marriage to divorce, and why you might consider doing the same. Rabbi Lisa Greene is a rabbi and a mother of three. Both roles challenge, inspire, teach and make her laugh. For 19 years, Rabbi Greene has served North Shore Congregation Israel, Glencoe, Illinois where she partners with phenomenal colleagues and members of her community to learn, teach, create experiential learning opportunities, and make sacred time and space happen in new and traditional ways. She was ordained by the Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion in 1995 and has a BS in Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Rabbi Greene is a long-time summer camp faculty member at the URJ Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute and brings her finance background to serve the Central Conference of American Rabbis. She's written for the Huffington Post, Wisdom Daily, Reform Judaism blog and her personal blog, Intersections (ordinaryandsacred.com), which reflects on the intersection of sacred and ordinary in daily life.
