RABBI BATYA ELANA ELLINOY — Rabbi-in-Residence

Rabbi Batya Elana Ellinoy is thrilled to bring her gifts as an educator, healer, and spiritual leader in uplifting and embodying the intersections of Jewish wisdom and well-being in collaboration with the BaMidbar team.

Rabbi Ellinoy is originally from Monterey, CA, and obtained her undergraduate degree at Prescott College with a focus on Diversity & Social Sustainability and Dance & Transformation.
