Rabbi Barkan

I am grateful for each moment of experiencing this mystery of life. As a rabbi, I have learned to experience God through community. Family is my primary community for each family has the power to generate and sustain a sacred community in and of itself.

I am a Jew. I share my people’s burdens and celebrate her triumphs of the past, present, and future. I have learned to stand up for myself by identifying with the Jewish people. Each people and every person is unique and has what to contribute to God and the human family

With this covenanted mindset, I walk the earth with wonder, seek peace in all of my ways, pursue justice, and share kindness.
