About Rabbi Naomi
For thirty years Rabbi Naomi has served two congregations in rural northern California where she is an interfaith leader. A prolific songwriter, Rabbi Naomi’s original compositions are performed by her synagogue choir and soloists. In the 1990s she organized the Redwood Rabbis to draw attention to the urgent need for protection and restoration of the forest ecosystem. With her son Berel she performs The Angel’s Wings: Music & Tales for the Soul, an original show based on her mystical tales. Rabbi Naomi has been honored as a Culture Bearer by the Alliance for Traditional Arts in California, which has provided seed money for a digital audio book of her stories currently in production. Chanukah Anew is part of the Rabbi Naomi Legacy Project, an effort to record and disseminate Rabbi Naomi’s music, stories and teaching.
