“Rabbi Adina Lewittes is one of a kind. She is insightful; she is gifted with beautiful expression and voice, and she knows how to share her wisdom and Torah like no other. She has a way of touching each and every person who is lucky enough to be part of a teaching, whether at a wedding, a bris, a service, or class. We are grateful for our partnership for all of these years.”

Beginnings
Welcoming new life into the family, whether through birth or adoption, with beautiful and inclusive Jewish rituals.
“Dini has been my Rabbi for every life cycle event that I can think of, which is really remarkable. She was there to lead us in service for all three of my sons’ brit milahs. At a moment that can be difficult, Dini offers blessings and teachings with intention. Her music/nigunim (wordless melodies) and inclusivity make all attending feel part of the community and part of the family on these momentous occasions.”
Josh
B-Mitzvah
Guiding Jewish youth to discover and celebrate their own Jewish identity in a multifaceted and diverse world.
“Rabbi Dini has been our spiritual guru for nearly 30 years. She has officiated at and guided us through many life cycle events, including the bar mitzvahs of our four sons. Dini brings abundant wisdom and warmth into her relationships and ritual, infusing meaning and joy into Jewish learning. Regardless of what Temple communities we have been a part of over the years, Rabbi Dini remains our source for spiritual guidance.”

“Rabbi Lewittes has guided our family through life’s journeys for over twenty-five years, from Brit Milah, B’nai Mitzvahs, under the chupah, and beside the grave. Whereas many rabbis have particular strengths, she excels in heart and mind, song and sermon. She has an inclusive orientation, an open-mindedness, and helps to keep Judaism real and authentic in our ever-changing world.”

Conversions
“Your people shall be my people”. Choosing Judaism is one of life’s great crossings; a path walked together, at your pace. Becoming Jewish is not a single moment but a journey of thresholds. I’d be honored to walk it with you.
“In terms of conversion services -- she has the most welcoming energy and takes the time to explain, answer questions, and really get you excited about Judaism, its rich history, its people, community, and traditions. I felt her support and encouragement throughout the entire process, and felt that I could be honest with her about my fears and doubts as well as my joys and triumphs. I know I would not have had the fulfilling experience I did if it wasn't for her.”
Sam
Weddings
Helping Jewish and multifaith/multi-heritage couples create ceremonies that are warm, personal, and memorable, and exploring Jewish wisdom around love and marriage, the meaning of the wedding rituals, and Jewish values that can help shape your home and family. Destination weddings are welcome!
“Rabbi Lewittes was a dream come true. She took time and care to prepare us for our marriage to come, worked with us to craft the perfect ceremony, and delivered the most beautiful, meaningful, and personal wedding ceremony. We expected to get compliments on the flowers and the food, but the most compliments we received at our wedding were about how intimate, inclusive, and meaningful the ceremony was, and how incredible Rabbi Lewittes is!”
Kara and Ian
Endings
Offering a dignified, sensitive, and personalized Jewish approach to end of life rituals, death and mourning.
“Rabbi Lewittes has guided our families through the loss of two parents. She has the rare gift of providing a highly supportive holding environment, guiding us through what to expect in this difficult process, halachically (Jewish law), emotionally, and spiritually, while simultaneously being attuned to our needs and wishes. She imbued the funeral with beauty and meaning as well as the shiva with song and prayer. She was our anchor in the storm.”

Life’s Other Passages
Some of life’s most profound turnings arrive without a script: recovery, retirement, divorce, a threshold crossed. If a moment in your life summons a marking — a melody, a word, a gathering of intention — reach out, and together we’ll create a ritual worthy of it.
As Rabbi on the Road, I’ll travel just about anywhere to mark the moments that matter. Wherever yours unfolds, I’ll gladly meet you there.
