Michelle

Michelle Katz (she/her) is a student at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. She is excited about navigating the spaces between the written word and lived experiences, and creating opportunities to center liminality. Her passion for community building and religious ritual brought her to study at Wesleyan University, NYU, and  Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership. Prior to RRC, Michelle held positions at the Society for the Advancement of Judaism, the Association for Jewish Studies, and Judaism Unbound. For her work with the AJS membership community and conference, Michelle was named as an Association Forum’s Forty Under 40 in 2020. She is thrilled to be combining her deep love of Jewish learning with inclusive communal engagement. In her spare time, you can find Michelle in Philadelphia, writing, reading, dancing, stitching, collecting haggadot, and cheering for her favorite sport, roller derby, alongside her spouse, Robert, and their dog, Lina.
