Sharon Jaffe

Kohenet Sharon Jaffe lives in Minnesota, the heartland of this continent. I offer ritual leadership for bat Torah/Mitzvah, marriage, funerals, and any other life cycle transition; for Makom Shalom a Jewish Women’s Sacred Circle (on fb or makomshalommn.org); for planetary transformations like climate justice, white anti-racism, and justice among Jews & our neighbors everywhere and anywhere.  Also, I love altar making for Torah journeys, or any other journey.
