We are excited to welcome Reb Mimi Feigelson, one of Rabbi Kaiman's beloved teachers and spiritual leaders, as Scholar-in-Residence on Friday, February 9th - Saturday, February 10th!

Rabbi Dr. Reb Mimi (Miriam Sara) Feigelson, is the first ordained female Orthodox rabbi post-shoah. She is a senior lecturer in Jewish Thought and Chassidut at the Schechter institutes and an international teacher of Chassidut, Death Studies, Spirituality and a story teller. Reb Mimi offers spiritual guidance and mentoring, specializing in death and mourning and other life-transition periods, both face-to-face and on Zoom.

Reb Mimi formed and created, as an Israeli-Modern-Chareidi-Chassidic-Rabbi the role of the Mashpiah Ruchanit (spiritual mentor) in non-Orthodox Rabbinical Seminaries in the United States since 2001, and in Yerushalayim, since her return in the summer of 2017.

Reb Mimi is simultaneously working on her forthcoming books, “On the Cusp of Life: From Scared to Sacred” which is an exploration and redefinition of Jewish funerals; and a Torah informed memoir “The Lonely Woman of Faith: Never Alone.”
