Rabbi Larry Seidman 

RationalRabbi.com

Welcome to my website! As a rabbi, I have the heritage of three thousand years of Jewish teachings and spirituality. As a PHD engineer, and manager, I also have a tradition of modern thinking and values. My goal is to integrate these to make religious ceremonies, ideas and practices meaningful and valuable for all people. The phrase Rational Rabbi emphasizes this combination.

About Me

We can believe in spirituality and logic.


We can accept science and God.


We can be Rational and Religious.

Jewish wisdom provides resources for every situation and occasion. My approach to ceremonies, services, and teaching is to use these to produce the perfect experience for you and your community.

The prophet Isaiah tells us to be “a light unto the nations.” I understand this to mean to bring the wisdom of Jewish teachings and practices to everyone. I am trained as a trans-denominational rabbi- prepared to serve Jews of all backgrounds and practices. I am also able to serve Christian and Muslim interfaith groups, and I am trained as a pastoral counselor.

WEDDINGS

Officiating at weddings is one of the blessings of being a rabbi. I serve a wide variety of Jewish, interfaith, and other wonderful couples who love the Jewish style.

LIFE EVENTS

Jewish tradition includes excellent ways to take note of things that happen in our lives. Many are joyous-bar and bat mitzvahs, welcoming a new baby, celebrating an anniversary. Some offer comfort such as funerals, hospice calls, sick visits.

TEACHING

Do you have a synagogue, a church, a chavurah, or a desire for personal study? I can help with topics ranging from Torah and prayer to religion in archaeology to Kabbalah and the science of the creation of the universe. I'll be happy to work with you to create an exciting program for you and/or your group.
