[1] She worked as the “circuit” rabbi for Congregation Har-Shalom in Missoula, Montana before returning to Israel in 1994.
During that time she opposed the ordination of homosexual rabbis at Schechter and same sex marriage in the Conservative Movement, which prompted a falling-out with the North American Masorti seminaries that had just begun ordaining homosexual rabbis.
She has been involved in setting up the first clinical pastoral education unit in Israel, participating in the network and later the association of spiritual caregivers in Israel as the writer the ethical code for Israeli spiritual caregivers and the professional standards for training Israeli chaplains.
In 2011 she had set up the only Israeli academic program specializing in Jewish spiritual care at the Schechter Institute.
