Faryn is a Jewish educator, ritual leader, curator and community organizer, working with people aged 2-72 to uncover and rediscover the radical, liberatory praxes within our inherited Jewish tradition(s) and enact them for collectively liberatory purposes in our times. She has taught in Jewish and multifaith educational programs across the Bay Area, from Hebrew Schools to graduate schools, weaving ritual practice, outdoor education, diasporic histories and counter-oppressive pedagogies. Additionally, Faryn acts as a community organizer, trainer and ritual leader within various Jewish social justice movements and interfaith coalitions, recognizing that an essential element of Jewish Liberation, and its contribution to collective liberation, is de-assimilation and reclamation of our many traditional folkways and prayerways, and that we must do so alongside with and in accountability to those with whom we share land and resources.
Faryn is a graduate of Starr King’s Master of Arts in Social Change program, a former staff member and Hilda Mason Teaching Fellow, and is currently pursuing rabbinical ordination with the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.
