Rabbi David Siff, Ph.D is the spiritual leader at Kol HaLev.  Rabbi Siff blends traditional learning with guitar playing and ritual flexibility, and is delighted to create meaningful, participatory, and joyous Jewish services.  Rabbi Siff was ordained at JTS, where he also earned his Ph.D in Jewish Philosophy, and is also faculty of the Aleph Ordination Program.  

Our guitar-led Shabbat services combine singing, deep prayer, and discussion, and invite serious spiritual engagement even to participants with little Hebrew background.

Kabbalat Shabbat: Our musical Friday night Shabbat service will uplift your soul with classic & contemporary Hebrew songs, readings from a variety of traditions, and Torah discussion.

Shabbat mornings are the highlight of our community. We offer a participatory, musical, easy to follow service which includes a discussion of a selection from the Torah, as well as a Torah reading in Hebrew and English. We also offer a program for little children of songs, stories, and activities, led by Lisa Fogelson.
