Rabbi Dorothy Richman serves as the rabbi of Makor Or: Jewish Meditation Center. She teaches Torah widely in the Bay Area and has served as rabbi for Berkeley Hillel and Congregations Sha'ar Zahav and Beth Sholom. Her rabbinate has been deeply influenced by years of service with AJWS and Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice.
