Steven Philp, The Rabbinical School
All his life, Steven Philp felt called to be a member of the clergy. But as a child, the rabbinate wasn’t quite what he envisioned: Steven grew up Roman Catholic, and comes from a long line of Methodist ministers.
Rachel Rosenthal, PhD, Kekst Graduate School
Growing up in New York City, Rachel Rosenthal had a childhood that was infused with Jewish experience, but didn’t fall in love with Talmud until after college.
Annette Kasle, DHL, Kekst Graduate School
Annette Kasle first took an informal adult education class with Associate Provost and Assistant Professor of Bible and Interpretation Stephen Garfinkel over 20 years ago. It left her hungry for more, and after retiring from a fulfilling career in law and health care policy, she came to JTS, earning first an MA and now a Doctorate in Hebrew Literature from the Kekst Graduate School.

Growing up in the Jewish community of San Antonio, Texas, Orlea Miller loved teaching friends about Jewish traditions and holidays—a passion she decided to turn into a career while working at Gann Academy, a Jewish high school near Boston.
