Reb Steve will share coffee with Rakefet Ginsberg, the new Executive Director of the Masorti Foundation for Conservative Judaism. They will have a discussion on The Masorti Movement in Israel. 

This week's conversation will be broadcast live to the Beth Tzedec Facebook page and YouTube channel. Comment with your questions for Rakefet on either platform!

Rakefet Ginsberg, Masorti’s incoming Executive Director, served as the Movement’s Deputy Director up until four years ago. She joined the Movement’s staff immediately following her return as an emissary on behalf of the Jewish Agency in the United States, and took on the challenging role of Director of the Congregations.

Rakefet was later promoted to Deputy Director of the Movement. She has extensive experience in community work, development and management of community programs and projects, and as a facilitator of processes of change in organizations and communities.

Rakefet serves as Chairperson of the Counseling Center for Women, and she is a member of the Board of Directors of the Schechter Rabbinical Seminary. In recent years, she led a team of therapists and facilitators in developing community resilience and group interventions within the Community Unit at NATAL (Israel Trauma and Resiliency Center).

Rakefet holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work from Tel Aviv University.
