Season 2, Episode 10: The Power of Hope (ft. Rabbi Claudia Kreiman)

Claudia Kreiman, Analucía Lopezrevoredo Season 2 Episode 10

Rabbi Claudia Kreiman is the first Chilean-born woman to be ordained to the rabbinate. The daughter of Ángel Kreiman-Brill, Chief Rabbi of Chile, Rav Claudia grew up in Santiago under the repressive environment of a dictatorship, inspiring her vision for social justice from a young age. After her graduation from high school, she moved to Argentina and there she began to engage deeply with Judaism, both as a learner and as a teacher. The death of her mother and 84 others in a 1994 terrorist attack on the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA) bombing in Buenos Aires, led her to honor her mother’s legacy. She moved to Israel in 1996, made Aliyah, studied at the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies and was ordained in Jerusalem in 2002 with a firm commitment to Social Justice and Torah. Today, as the first woman Senior Rabbi of Temple Beth Zion in Brookline, Massachusetts, Rav Claudia continues to inspire and energize her community through Joyful Prayer, and dynamic and purposeful leadership. Tune in to hear Rabbi Claudia's journey from dictatorship to liberation.
