Clergy and Leadership
Rabbi Sabine Meyer has shared her passion for Judaism and provided guidance for Jewish adults, adolescents, families and children and non-Jewish spiritual seekers for over two decades. Prior to joining Rodef Sholom, she was the spiritual leader of Kol HaNeshamah in Seattle, WA and previously served as the Senior Rabbi at Tree of Life Congregation in Columbia, SC.
Ordained by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles in 2007, Rabbi Sabine launched her rabbinate at the Union for Reform Judaism. During her ten years as Director of the URJ Introduction to Judaism program on the West Coast, she facilitated the Jewish learning of countless spiritual seekers and guided many students on their journey to conversion. A skillful and knowledgeable teacher, she served as a faculty member of the international Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning from 2013-2019 and taught a variety of courses at Los Angeles synagogues, including Jewish history, Bible, and Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism).
Rabbi Sabine has dedicated her rabbinate to the exploration of sacred texts and the practice of Jewish rituals that connect people to the blessings of Judaism. In her role as spiritual leader, teacher and counselor, Rabbi Sabine seeks to foster meaningful communal relationships and create opportunities for people to find their personal Jewish voice and ways that the Jewish tradition speaks to them and brings meaning to their lives.
Rabbi Sabine is excited to continue Rodef Sholom’s tradition of encouraging everyone to participate and to explore, to ask questions and try out new ideas, and to learn and pray in a vibrant and caring Jewish community.
Welcome! As the Temple president, it’s a privilege to serve our congregation and the community. I’ve been a member of Rodef Sholom for over 38 years and have held several leadership positions for the Sisterhood and on the Board of Directors. I enjoy building leadership and creating opportunities to bring our members together.
We are a small Reform congregation that is warm and inclusive and we are always delighted to welcome guests and new members to our community. If you are interested in joining us for services, any of our special events, or are interested in membership, please contact the office for details.
I look forward to meeting you!
