"Tzibur" is Hebrew for community, based on a root concept that every sacred community is created and sustained through the collective presence of its members, lay leaders, clergy and professionals.
I created Tzibur Strategies because I love congregations and the people who lead them!
Rabbi Amy Levin
I grew up in suburban New Jersey and was just about the only kid who actually liked going to Hebrew School! A Religious School geek. The result was that my childhood sacred community, my synagogue, was a haven, a home away from home that supported me, enriched my experience growing up, gave me opportunities to spread my leadership wings.
​
At 11 years old, I knew I wanted to be a rabbi and I knew that congregations were going to be my passion. I want everyone to have the opportunity to be part of a great community: a place with a shared sense of the holy, a place where everyone feels supported and appreciated and needed. A congregation needs to be healthy in order to be that for its members. That's what Tzibur Strategies is about.
​
I've had the privilege of leading congregations, teaching, mentoring and advising congregational leaders in Israel and the United States. I have trained as a congregational consultant, served as a mentor for senior rabbinical students and helped two congregations in transition as their interim rabbi. My interest and expertise is congregational leadership:
-
fostering productive, healthy leadership teams based on a collaborative process.
-
supporting individual leaders through strategic advising.
-
helping congregational leadership teams envision, plan and move forward without leaving their members behind.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
