Rabbi Rachel Silverman is the Rabbi of Congregational Learning at Congregation Kehillath Israel in Brookline where she enjoys welcoming people into Judaism, helping them find their place, and ensuring that our community continues to grow and thrive. As part of her role at KI, Rabbi Silverman helped to create KICKS (KI's Community Kabbalat Shabbat service), teaches in the Eser program, serves on the educational advisory committee of Mayyim Hayyim.
She holds a BA in Near Eastern and Judaic Studies from Brandeis University, a master’s degree in Jewish Education from the Davidson School, and rabbinic ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary. In 2009-20120 she had the distinct honor of being selected as a Legacy Heritage Rabbinic Fellow, serving as a rabbi to Temple Adath Sharon, in Sharon, MA.
Rabbi Silverman is, perhaps, most known for her creativity, which led to the creation of the “Real Men Marry Rabbis” T-shirt, of which hundreds have sold worldwide. One of her t-shirts hangs in the National Museum of American Jewish History.
