Our Clergy

Rabbi Lisa Feld has served B’nai Tikvah since 2021, first as a rabbinic intern, now as our rabbi. She was ordained by Hebrew College in 2023, and also holds a Master of Jewish Studies from Hebrew College and a Master of Fine Arts from Colorado State University, as well as a BA in Medieval Studies from Bard College. She has served as a chaplaincy intern at both Massachusetts General Hospital and Hebrew Senior Life, accompanying people through challenging experiences (and occasionally joyful ones as well!)

Before rabbinical school, Rabbi Feld worked as a writer and editor for the Rabbinical Assembly, Oxford University Press, and the Jewish Women’s Archive (JWA). A passionate storyteller, Rabbi Feld has taught midrash writing as a spiritual practice in several communities in the Boston area, and uses the tools of crafting poetry and fiction to help others forge deeper connections with prayer and with Jewish texts. She is currently at work on several novels, including one about Moses, Miriam and Aaron.

Outside of work and her writing, she loves biking, kayaking, walking in nature, and making crafts projects (including several hand-sewn tallitot).

Rabbi Feld looks forward to developing her relationships with the B’nai Tikvah community, and encourages you to be in contact to make a time to meet over coffee, at your home, or at the synagogue.
