About Rabbi Sheryl Lewart

Sheryl Lewart is a spiritual teacher who lectures and leads workshops and seminars in mystical Judaism (Kabbalah, Hasidism and Mussar). She served for 12 years as rabbi of Kehillat Israel—the largest Reconstructionist congregation in the world—in Los Angeles, and gives seminars regularly on values-based decision-making. Having studied spiritual formation at the Mercy Center in Burlingame, Calif., Sheryl now offers spiritual direction and guidance in order to help others understand that by developing our own spirituality, we discover a deeper intimacy with God and a genuine compassion for all of creation. God, it has been suggested, is the wind that blows our ship, but it is up to us to turn the rudder and shift the sails in order to more fully catch the wind that freely blows.
