Interests

I serve my synagogue and wider Jewish community as a gabbai, shliach tzibbur, and bar/bat mitzvah tutor. My (Jewish) areas of interest include Jewish history, the interaction of Muslim and Jewish civilizations, chazzanut, mysticism/hassidut, and the relationship of Eretz Yisrael to Jewish identity and spiritual practice. My hobbies include running, hiking, camping, fishing, birding, botany, and homebrewing ales… all but the last with my wife and kids.
