Lilli, a Los Angeles native, has always found outlets to further her passion for Jewish education. A fifth-year rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary, Lilli serves as rabbinic intern at Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El and University of Pennsylvania Hillel. Lilli previously served as the rabbinic intern at Congregation Beth El in South Orange, NJ.

Last summer, Lilli spearheaded a community organizing project that engaged and built a community of Jewish summer college interns in DC. Previously, Lilli spent three years as the rabbinic intern at Hillel at Binghamton University.  In 2020, Lilli organized virtual learning festivals centered around the Jewish holidays, in which hundreds of students participated nationwide. Lilli has spent her summers as a division leader for USY on Wheels and as a teacher at Camp Ramah in Nyack and Wisconsin, and in her spare time she prepares students to become B’nai Mitzvah.

Lilli graduated with a degree in Child Development from California State University, Northridge, then spent one year serving in the Avodah Jewish Service Corps, and a subsequent year as a fellow at Hadar Institute. When not teaching or learning, Lilli loves to spend her days baking cookies and challah, or searching for the best plate of pasta in NYC.
