 Baruch HaLevi Biography

As growing numbers of Jews have become disengaged with the religion of their birth, Rabbi Baruch HaLevi offers a proactive response for reengaging Jews, reclaiming Judaism, and reviving the Jewish community. A dynamic speaker on Judaism, spirituality, and building inclusive communities of faith, Rabbi B is the spiritual leader of the Shirat Hayam congregation, one of the fastest growing synagogues in Greater Boston.

Rabbi B is a passionate writer whose first book, Revolution of Jewish Spirit: How to Revive Ruakh in Your Spiritual Life, Transform Your Synagogue & Inspire Your Jewish Community, co-authored with Ellen Frankel, offers methods of reviving Jewish spiritual centers, federations, Jewish community centers, Jewish institutions, and synagogues that serve as the heart of the Jewish tradition. He is also an avid yoga practitioner and currently serves as the spiritual consultant for Zuzzim, a new start-up that works to make Judaism affordable and accessible to all.

Ultimately, Rabbi Baruch HaLevi is committed to reclaiming an inspired form of Judaism, fostering an inclusive Jewish community, and building bridges between the Jewish community and its Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, and secular brothers and sisters - whomever they are, wherever they are.

Rabbi B attended the University of Kansas where he received a BA in philosophy. Upon graduation, he spent a year working in New York City as a motivational speaker. Shortly thereafter, he decided to formally resume his spiritual and academic pursuits and moved to Israel where he began his Judaic studies, first at Livnot and later at the Pardes Institute in Jerusalem. In 1997, he entered rabbinical school at the Ziegler School of Rabbinical Studies, University of Judaism in Los Angeles, California.

Rabbi B spent five years as a rabbinic intern at Ohr HaTorah synagogue in Los Angeles under the guidance of his mentor, Rabbi Mordecai Finley. In 2002, he accepted a position at Tifereth Israel, a synagogue in Des Moines, Iowa, where he and his wife Ariela spent four years reinvigorating and reenergizing the historic congregation.

Rabbi B moved to Swampscott, Massachusetts, in the summer of 2006 to begin his tenure at Congregation Shirat Hayam, a newly created synagogue crafted out of the merger of two previous congregations. CSH is now a vibrant, flourishing center of Jewish community, education, and spirituality.

In February 2007, Rabbi B received his doctoral degree in ministry with an emphasis in Jewish spirituality from the Graduate Theological Foundation of Oxford University.

Speaking Topics

  • Revenue Revolution

    Synagogues, Jewish institutions, and Jewish communities are facing so many challenges today, perhaps none greater than the rising cost of being Jewish and participating in Jewish communal life. Our current dues, membership fees, and financial models are uninspired and unsustainable. Judaism, Jews, and the Jewish spirit are all about facing adversity and transforming it into opportunity and possibility. This is how we have historically navigated through the challenges of our past and this innovative and resilient spirit is what we need today. In this presentation, speaker Rabbi Baruch HaLevi tells his audience it's time for new financial innovation and inspiration
    • it's time for a "revenue revolution."

  • Meaning Through Mourning

    Everyone has confronted, or eventually will have to confront, loss, tragedy, and the death of someone we love. These are life's darkest moments. The darkness, however, doesn't have to be without meaning, purpose, possibility, or even blessings. With resolve, courage, and guidance, we can transform the darkness into light and the curses into blessings. In this presentation, speaker Rabbi Baruch HaLevi explains how Judaism teaches us that we can find ultimate meaning through our mourning.

  • Holy S: Reclaiming a Vibrant Judaism Through Sexuality, Spirituality & Shabbat

    Judaism is stagnating. Jewish communities are declining and Jews are walking away from Judaism for many reasons, not the least of which is the "pediatric," "G-rated" version we have perpetuated. On the contrary, Judaism is a sophisticated, adult-oriented, "R-rated" tradition. In this presentation, speaker Rabbi Baruch HaLevi explains to his audience that it is time to reimagine, reinvigorate, and reinspire their tradition, their synagogues, and their people, and that this will happen by reclaiming the erotic, edgy, and liberating truth behind sexuality, spirituality, and Shabbat.

  • Revolution of Jewish Spirit

    Based on Rabbi Baruch HaLevi's acclaimed book by the same name, this engaging presentation draws on his great success with his congregation Shirat Hayam in Greater Boston to show what is possible when divine spirit is central to the Jewish experience. He identifies the difference between a living synagogue and a dying one and offers methods of reviving Jewish spiritual centers, federations, community centers, institutions, and synagogues. Rabbi B offers practical strategies for sustaining and expanding transformation, including tips for providing impassioned leadership, inspired programming, and inviting sacred spaces.

  • One Size Doesn't Fit All

    There has never been a single way of being Jewish, one type of Judaism, or one type of Jew. We all have a fingerprint. We all have a soul print. It's time to make room for multiple portals of entry and pathways into the Jewish community and within our Jewish institutions and synagogues. In this enlightening presentation, Rabbi Baruch HaLevi leads audiences in cultivating their own unique brand of Judaism.
