For thirty years Rabbi Naomi has served two congregations on the Redwood Coast of rural northern California.  A prolific songwriter, Rabbi Naomi’s original compositions are performed by choirs and soloists. 

In the 1990s, Rabbi Naomi organized the Redwood Rabbis to draw attention to the urgent need for protection and restoration of the forest ecosystem.

With her son Berel she performs The Angel’s Wings: Music & Tales for the Soul, an original chamber theater piece based on her mystical tales.

Rabbi Naomi has been honored as a Culture Bearer by the Alliance for California Traditional Arts, which has provided seed money for recordings of her stories currently in production.

Chanukah Anew is part of the Rabbi Naomi Legacy Project, an effort to record and disseminate her music, stories, poetry and teaching.
