Rabbi Shoshanah Tornberg was ordained at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York in 2006. There, she also received her Masters in Hebrew Letters, and from the Rhea Hirsch School of Education at the Los Angeles campus of HUC-JIR she earned a Masters in Jewish Education.

A lifelong Jewish educator, Rabbi Shoshanah has served communities in Steubenville, OH, Tustin, CA, Brooklyn, NY, Albany, NY, Sacramento, CA, and the Philadelphia area. She began her tenure here at KI in Allentown in July of this year, and she is very excited to dive into learning and celebration with members of this community.

She loves to dance, hike, read, do yoga, play with her dogs, ride her bike, and spend time with her family: David, Elie, Ruthie, Elijah, and Ezra. Rabbi Shoshanah was raised in the Reform movement, and she grew up mostly in Kansas City and Toronto.
