Originally from Oreland, PA, Seth headed into Philadelphia for college and studied linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania. Faced with the challenge of finding a job related to his less-than-practical major, he left the U.S. to teach English in a small town in the Czech Republic and later returned to Penn for law school, doing a brief stint at the Israeli Ministry of Justice.
After working as an attorney for five years, Seth headed off to rabbinical school in Israel and New York and was ordained at Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion in 2007. During his HUC-JIR tenure, Seth served Congregation B’nai Israel in Laconia, N.H. as a student rabbi, interned as the Program Director at Princeton University’s Center for Jewish Life/Hillel and was involved with the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs and the Jewish FundS for Justice.
In his spare time, Seth enjoys running, playing the piano and the all-too-rare treat of watching the Eagles win post-season games. He is a terrible, terrible dancer.
