I'm excited to share this conversation with Rabbi Yohanna Kinberg.. Yohanna speaks about the personal and communal lessons she's learning during the coronavirus outbreak in Washington state where she lives; the loss of her mother last fall and the experience of noticing spring coming to life in the natural world; and the sheer joy she experiences in taking her dogs to the dog park on Saturday afternoons.

Rabbi Yohanna Kinberg has served as Congregation Kol Ami's rabbi since 2014 and has worked as rabbi and chaplain in the Seattle area since 2003. Before coming to Kol Ami, she was an assistant rabbi and director of education at Temple B’nai Torah in Bellevue, Washington for 11 years. Rabbi Kinberg is a graduate of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and a member of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association. She is involved with JStreet, Jewish Federation, Jewish Family Services, Faith Action Network and a variety of other organizations working towards peace, justice, sustainability, and interfaith connections.

Rabbi Kinberg loves working with people of all ages and stages. Children, elders, babies, teens... people who are in the midst of celebration and those who are in the midst of crisis. In addition to providing pastoral care for our members, She offers spiritual direction and small group classes for anyone who wants to study specific topics.

Rabbi Kinberg enjoys spending time with her two dogs Yoda and Hansolo. Together they explore the dog parks of the greater Puget Sound. She also love spending time wit her husband, Rabbi Seth Goldstein, and two sons Ozi and Erez. You can often find them eating at the delicious Asian restaurants in Washington State  or shopping at an international market for foods and spices from all over the world. Rabbi Kinberg also loves working out at Orange Theory and is always up to date on all of the latest bingable shows on TV.
