Rabbi Madeleine Fortney

In This Together

My calling toward the rabbinate comes from my love for people and my hopes for what we can accomplish when we come together in intentional Jewish community. With inspiration from our ancient texts, we can hold space for each others’ stories, perspectives, and feelings of grief, joy, and everything in between.

Bearing “With-ness”

My passion for relationship-building is fueled by sensitivity, curiosity, and empathy. My love of creative ritual, music, and justice allows me to nurture rich and vibrant community connections where all voices are valued. It is a blessing for me to bear witness to and help guide people through the most significant moments of their lives. And this is what brings purpose to my own.
