    About Rabbi Fern

    Rabbi Fern Feldman is a singer, scholar, spiritual counselor, service leader, and ritual facilitator, with experience in a wide range of Jewish communities, including Conservative, Renewal, Reconstructionist, Reform, and unaffiliated.

    She received rabbinic ordination in 2003 from Aleph: Alliance for Jewish Renewal, and Spiritual Direction certification in 2007 from the Morei Derekh program of Yedidya.

    Her current research and writing involve exploring the sacred dark in Jewish text, and developing non-dual paradigms for the mysteries of creation. Together with her partner, a physicist, she teaches about quantum physics and kabbalah.

    In addition, she works as a nurse practitioner in a community health clinic, and lives with her partner, two children, a dog, a cat and a rabbit in Santa Cruz, CA.

    Spiritual Direction

    Spiritual Direction is a relationship in which we dedicate a regular period of time to the exploration of the presence of the Holy in our lives, seeking to discern glimmers of holiness, the awe at the depth of the soul. Here we bring our attention to our experiences of mystery, the sacred dimensions that are present in every moment of our lives.  This is a time to look beneath the surface of things, to discover the presence of something beyond our individual awareness; experiences of connection, or a sense of being guided or accompanied along our life journeys.
