Rabbi Sara Zacharia
Rabbi Sara Zacharia teaches deep, relational, and relevant Jewish tradition and ancient wisdom. With a visionary approach to spiritual growth and an entrepreneurial mindset, she builds inclusive spaces where people of all backgrounds can explore and connect.
Originally brought up in the Yeshiva/Haredi community in Brooklyn, NY, she eventually left and embarked on her spiritual journey that led to the rabbinate. In 1999, she was ordained with the first rabbinical class at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles, CA.
Since then, Rabbi Zacharia’s rabbinate has focused on building Jewish, pluralistic communities from the ground up through study, practice, and spiritual leadership. She has lived and worked in diverse Jewish settings including San Diego, Los Angeles, Boston, and New York City. Whether exploring a spiritual journey one-on-one or revitalizing an organizational approach to Jewish learning, Rabbi Zacharia approaches Judaism with an eye towards tradition and creativity.
