Hi! My name is Arielle and I serve as Assistant Rabbi at Congregation Rodeph Sholom in NYC. I'm originally from Long Island. I studied Studio Art and Judaic Studies at New York University and have spent many summers at Camp Tel Yehudah.
After graduating from NYU, I worked in visual art, tech and non-profits before deciding to pursue the rabbinate. While at HUC, I have served as solo clergy in Bristol, TN and spent two years as the Reform Rabbinic Intern at Columbia and Barnard Hillel. In addition, I have had the joy of working with the Center for Small Town Jewish Life in Maine and teaching at Colby College.
My focus as a rabbi is to integrate creativity and Judaism, bringing relevance and artistic exploration to our ancient tradition. I seek to meet people where they are while ensuring that Jewish history, culture and tradition are honored.

In my free time you can find me drawing, reading, doing pilates or hunting down a beach!
