Rabbi Jeremy graduated from the Schreyer Honors College at PSU (Phi Beta Kappa) with degrees in International Politics, Jewish Studies, Classics & Ancient Mediterranean Studies, and a minor in Middle Eastern Studies. He began his rabbinical studies at The Jewish Theological Seminary (NYC) and after three years transferred to Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion (NYC). Following ordination in 2014, Jeremy served communities in Virginia, Chicago and Pittsburgh (where he sat on the board of Hillel JUC). Throughout his studies and his rabbinate, he has been passionate about inclusion, social justice,

relational work and lifelong learning.  Currently, he serves on the Responsa Committee of the CCAR,  Freehof Institute of Progressive Halakhah, and the UDPD and Newark PD Advisory Boards. Jeremy is a doctoral candidate at HUC-JIR in the area of Talmud & Rabbinics.

​

Relationships are the key part of his rabbinate along with his favored phrase “good Torah is good Torah,” which he translates as “if it’s inspiring and meets our values, then whether the teaching comes from the Talmud or Matisyahu, it’s worthwhile to study and learn.” A lifelong Eagles fan and Philly native, he is looking forward to getting to know the campus community, discovering the best coffee spots and rebuilding the candy bar at Hillel. Jeremy

lives in Kennett Square with his wife Marissa, sons Alexander and Benji and furry companion Bindo.
