Judaism's Myers-Briggs:  Purim Jews and Passover Jews 

Contemporary American Jewish female composers benefit from Debbie Friedman's legacy. As Women's History Month comes to a close, join us as we feature the Shabbat music of many of those women. With guest speaker, Rabbi Sarah Bassin. 

Rabbi Sarah Bassin serves as the associate rabbi at Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills where she drives congregation-based justice work. Prior to this role, she was the founding executive director of NewGround: A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change where she built minority-based coalitions.

Under her leadership, NewGround was named one of the 50 most innovative Jewish organizations in the United States by Slingshot Guide and was recognized by Governor Jerry Brown of California as the state’s faith-based organization of the year in 2013. Rabbi Bassin’s demonstrated track record of anticipating trends in political and communal change is coupled with the courage to help lead communities through thoughtful processes of intentional transformation.

She now serves on the boards of NewGround and UpStart — a national organization that has helped over 100 innovative Jewish nonprofits launch or scale up. She also serves on the advisory boards of the New Israel Fund, Hand in Hand Schools, the Jewish Center for Justice, and Tivnu: Building Justice. 

Rabbi Bassin has built an expertise in interfaith civilian diplomacy, traveling with elite delegations of faith and political leaders to England, France, Germany, Qatar, Azerbaijan, and Iran. For her work, she was named a fellow of Security and Religious Freedom at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations. NPR’s On Being  featured Rabbi Bassin for her organizational innovation and interfaith work.  She graduated summa cum laude from Lafayette College and received rabbinic ordination and a certificate in nonprofit management from Hebrew Union College.
