Shayna ‘Rabba Nechama’ Naveh: Holistic Independent Rabbi and Educator with a passion for exploring wellness and spirituality from a Jewish perspective.

My vocation and primary focus is on helping fellow Jews, and those on the path to becoming Jews, find their personal spiritual derech (way) within the larger Jewish path. I provide personal spirituality and wellness sessions, teach a variety of Hebrew/Judaica classes and serve as mentor and sponsoring rabbi for conversion candidates. Most via zoom. I also help people prepare personalized Jewish wedding ceremonies and other Jewish lifecycle events and officiate if the events are in my area. Additionally I serve as a Jewish chaplain and am involved in Jewish end-of-life.

I believe that true holistic health encompasses all aspects of well-being, including the spiritual. In my work I draw from my 40 years experience as an observant Jew as well as what I learned in my rabbinical studies and my passion for Jewish spirituality. If you choose to work with me I will support and guide you with empathy and understanding and together we will make your journey towards maintaining balance and wellness faster and easier.  - Rabba Nechama
