“We come from very different Jewish backgrounds, and were concerned about finding a Rabbi that suited both of our styles and levels of religiousness for our wedding. We met Rabbi Sharon and felt instantly comfortable with her. She was able to find such wonderful ways to incorporate our different families, styles, religious traditions and more in a way that made us both feel so valued and appreciated. She answered every single question, even the silly ones, with the kindest smiles and most thorough explanations. It never mattered how many questions we had or how often we reached out, she was always there. We were the only couple we knew that actually looked forward to our premarital chats. Not only was it quality time with Rabbi Sharon, who we both admire so much, but it was such a fun and relaxed way to explore questions and possibilities we hadn’t considered on our own. When Becca’s family was unable to come to town prior to the wedding, Sharon stepped in and took her to the mikvah so she was able to fulfill a tradition she had longed to. Sharon acted like family and made that experience so special, even when her biological family was unable to participate. Our wedding guests, who ranged from Orthodox Jews to people who had never seen a Jewish wedding, told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony that Rabbi Sharon performed. We found a lifelong spiritual advisor, friend and family member who continues to guide us well past our wedding day.”

“I have been wanting to email you for awhile to say thank you. I have thought so much about the ideas and questions you brought to the seder roundtables. You have really encouraged me to look deeply and think about the why’s and how’s of this event. I just wanted to thank you for pushing me to really investigate not only the tradition and history of Passover but also how to move forward in an inspired way with this event. Thank you for encouraging us keep working despite our fears. I see why you are a leader in the community. You definitely inspire deeper thinking and connection!”
