“Rabbi Tuchman received her rabbinical ordination from JTS in 2018—making her, as far as she is aware, the first blind woman in the world to enter the rabbinate. Now a sought after speaker, spiritual leader and educator, she has taught at numerous synagogues and other Jewish venues throughout North America and was named to Jewish Week’s “36 under 36” for her innovative leadership concerning inclusion of Jews with disabilities in all aspects of Jewish life.”
Rabbi Lauren Tuchman is an alum of our Seminary Leadership Project, our online course Don’t Kvetch, Organize, and a trainer for JOIN for Justice. Read the full featured article on the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism website here.
