Rabbi Shira Stutman
Director of Jewish Programming

As Sixth & I’s Director of Jewish Programming, I’m here as a resource for you. My focus is to make Jewish meaning and build Jewish community. As the sole rabbi on staff, I strive to infuse Sixth & I’s diverse programs with Jewish context and content. I support a number of “boutique” communities, including workshops for those interested in joining the Jewish community. I graduated from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 2007, where I was a Wexner Graduate Fellow. I also graduated from Columbia University and the Charles E Smith Jewish Day School. I was the founding rabbi of Kesher Shalom Congregation in Abington, PA. And my favorite t-shirt reads: “This is what a real rabbi looks like.”
