As the Rabbinic Fellow at Temple Micah, Rabbi Samantha Gayler Frank is creating a new cycle of haftarot readings that will serve to reanimate the prophetic voice in Shabbat worship.

Prior to becoming a Rabbi, she taught English in France and worked at the NYU Child Study Center in mental health policy. She was honored to be a Bonnie and Daniel Tisch Rabbinical Fellow, recipient of the BeWise Fellowship for entrepreneurship, and was named one of 36 Under 36 Innovators Lighting the Way by the New York Jewish Week.
