About me
Rabbi Adam M. Allenberg, MAJE (he/him) is a husband and Aba, an educator and songleader, a prayer leader and permaculture designer. He serves as the Senior Director of the Office of Recruitment and Admissions for the Hebrew Union College, where he spends his days recruiting future colleagues and helping them gain the skills and network to thrive as Jewish professionals in all areas of Jewish life (like Jewish camping!). He has been blessed to teach, counsel, advise and agitate at 25 different Jewish summer camps, dozens of college campuses and their Hillels, and local and national Jewish gatherings all across the West and beyond. Adam and his family live in Santa Monica, California, the historic home of the Gabrielino/Tongva People. The Allenbergs like to hike and camp in the mountains, spend long days at the beach, sing through their growing family songbook and tend to their garden of perennials, herbs, berries, flowers and citrus trees. Together, they are slowly and patiently reclaiming traditional foodways such as pickling, preserving, baking with wild yeasts, foraging, and brewing kombucha, beer and mead.
