A San Francisco native, biologist turned rabbi, Elisheva Salamo divides her days between her wonderful congregation (Keddem) and a fabulous group of seniors at the OFJCC. After ordination from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, she served as rabbi at Congregation Ner Shalom in Cotati for 9 years, then as Program Manager for Jewish adult education at the JCCSF. One of her great passions is playing with biblical and rabbinic texts, and watching how everyone comes up with important insights.
