Shaliakh Tzibur and Community Chaplain Sabrina Sojourner has been leading services, teaching, and cultivating curiosity within Judaism for nearly 20 years. She’s been a featured speaker, scholar-in-residence, and faculty at synagogues, conferences, retreats, and Shabbatons across the country.

 

Based in Rockville, MD, she serves as the Spiritual Leader for Revitz House, a residence of the Charles E. Smith Life Communities. She leads services, teaches on a variety of topics; prepares young and the elder young for bar/bat mitzvah, and tends to life-cycle, spiritual, and chaplain services for the campus and for unaffiliated Jewish families wherever she is needed.

​

In 2018, she launched Training the Heart to Listen, a conversational approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Based on Jewish values, the design invites participants to use their spirituality, the sacredness of their community, and the values of their faith tradition for this important, and often difficult, discussion.
