Rabbi Oliver Spike Joseph
Community Rabbi
Rabbi Oliver Spike Joseph is the founding Rabbi of the Havurah and was our Rabbi for over five years. We now benefit from his presence as a member and his support with halacha (religious law) and adult learning, as well as when community members need pastoral care and during life events.
Rabbi Oliver qualified as a Rabbi in Los Angeles at the Zeigler School for Rabbinic Studies and studied at the Conservative Yeshiva and Hartman Institute in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv University.
