I would definitely like to nominate my Rabbi, Rabbi Raysh Weiss, for this title, although she would typically dismiss any such accolade and mention someone who she thinks is much more worthy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rabbi Weiss and her husband Rabbi Jonah Rank were part of our small Jewish community in Halifax, Nova Scotia, for three years, along with their adorable daughters.\u00a0 In a place where Jewish food, culture and outreach is sparse, they made a huge difference to our Jewish lives and to the lives of many other people in our community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rabbi Weiss in particular made it her mission to contact each and every member of our synagogue, to visit the sick (including my mother, who isn\u2019t even Jewish), to teach, to create and to generally demonstrate through all her actions what it means to be a Jewish leader in these times.\u00a0 After tragedies, she created vigils, reaching out to other faith communities and other Jewish leaders, allowing us all to gather and pray in a meaningful way as we collectively mourned for those killed for no other reason than the fact they were Jewish. For holidays, she created meaningful programming for all.\u00a0 For those seeking to learn more or to convert to Judaism, she welcomed them and helped them find their way forward. She demonstrates through her actions a way to live a moral life in very troubling and complex times.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the Rabbi and her family have returned to the US now, where another congregation will no doubt profit from her wisdom, we remember all that she taught us through her example, her inspiring sermons, and her regard for the divine spark in each person she encountered.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She is truly a mensch, and a brilliant one, and long may she continue to provide hope and inspiration to the many lucky people who meet her.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":64871,"id":64871,"title":"reysh
