Rabbi Miriam Margles works with our very own Rabbi Jordan Bendat- Appell at the Institute of Jewish Spirituality and we are so happy to have her here this evening leading a meditation program for us.

Miriam has a long and rich association with IJS, having taught on various retreats and programs over the years.  She joined the institute as a Senior Core Faculty after over a decade as the rabbi of the Danforth Jewish Circle here in Toronto.  She is a graduate of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, an alumna of the Wexner Graduate Fellowship and the Jerusalem Fellows at the Mandel Leadership Institute.  Miriam is a founding faculty member at the Romemu Yeshiva, serving as a fellow with the Rising Song Institute, co-founding the award winning educational program engaging with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Encounter, and recording her original Jewish Music with the Hadar Rising Song Ensemble.
