Jewish Ritual and Learning
education, service leading, lifecycle events
Hadar leads vibrant jewish services and rituals in and out of institutional settings. She has been honored to support individuals and families with joyous song and solemn chanting at private life cycle rituals- weddings, commitment ceremonies, bnei mitzvahs, and funerals. A long time tutor and collaborator with teens in their bnei mitzvah process, she is also available to work with adults seeking to transform their connections to jewishness.
Hadar is currently seeking rabbinic ordination, is organizing with Rabbis for Ceasefire, and is Student Rabbi at Kolot Chayeinu in Brooklyn.

“Hadar was more than the officiant for our wedding — she was a dream collaborator, visionary, advocate, and champion. She brings seemingly endless generosity, patience, and curiosity to her work as a ritual facilitator, able to sit with the doubt, beauty, and complexity of inherited traditions while also forging new rituals and practices with immense creativity and joy. Working with Hadar was a fully embodied reflective and spiritual experience in which we not only articulated and affirmed our love, but found a more grounded and individualized connection with Jewish practice unlike anything we had encountered in our many years of Jewish education.”
“Hadar was a fantastic Bar Mitzvah tutor for both of our sons: caring, patient, creative and thorough. Her help was invaluable in helping them prepare for the ceremony and she was also a wonderful role model for how to lead a Jewish life.”
“Hadar was a wonderful fit for my daughter who was shy and very artistic. Hadar was able to build a strong connection that was spiritual, creative and intellectual and supported my daughter to have a meaningful, beautiful bat mitzvah experience.”
“Hadar’s deep, artistic connection to Judaism inspired and enriched our daughter. She is a wonderful tutor.”
“One of Hadar’s strengths is her innate ability to meet students where they are. She was a wonderful, warm, caring & challenging tutor to each of our sons. Each of them emerged with confidence and a better understanding of their individual connections to Judaism. ”
