Meet Rabbi Steven Schwarzman
If you're embarking on a spiritual journey, having a guide who understands the modern world and the beauty of Judaism can make all the difference.
I'm Rabbi Steven Schwarzman, and I created Judaism Online to bring authentic Jewish learning directly to you, fitting seamlessly into your own schedule, wherever you are in the world.
I am a Rabbi, ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (JTS) in New York in 2008, and a member of the Rabbinical Assembly. Over the years, I've had the privilege of teaching Judaism to hundreds of students from all walks of life, serving congregations in the United States and Canada. Today, I'm privileged to live, study, and teach in the ancient and modern city of Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.
Before my ordination, I spent 14 years in the fast-paced Israeli tech sector as a trainer for a leading technology firm, alongside my work as a professional writer, translator, and author of four published books.
This unique blend of deep Jewish learning and real-world experience means I don't teach Judaism as a dry academic subject. I try to translate ancient tradition into a practical, engaging, and meaningful spiritual discipline for modern adults.
Your spiritual journey matters. And I invite you to join me in learning Judaism, living Judaism, and growing in Judaism. It's a spiritual path that I believe will bring you the deepest kind of joy.
Whether you're just starting out and want to learn what Judaism is all about, or you're seeking a compassionate rabbinic mentor, I'm here to be your personal rabbi and walk this path with you.
