About Rabbi Eryn London
I received semicha (rabbinic ordination) from Yeshivat Maharat in June 2017 and subsequently trained and worked as a multi-faith hospital chaplain in New York City. Prior to completing semicha, I lived in Israel for 7 years where I studied at the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies and the Susi Bradfield Women's Institute of Halachic Leadership at Midreshet Lindenbaum.
I am an experienced program leader, facilitator and educator with vast training and expertise in working with diverse groups of people, in some of life's most challenging contexts. My approach to working and engaging with individuals and groups is dynamic and results orientated, using a range of analytical, creative and resourceful skills to frame and solve problems collaboratively with clients.
​
I have lectured in Israel, Australia, Colombia, Canada, Germany, the UK and the US, and have a track record of success in communal engagement and education.
​
I obtained my BA at Goucher College in the United States and my MA at Goldsmith, University of London. ​
​
I am living in the UK, and am able to work here, the USA, and Israel.
