Jacobowitz grew up in Tel Aviv with secular parents and grandparents, but she was always interested in religion. She craved spirituality but did not think she could find it in Judaism, which she experienced as only Orthodox and for men. As Jacobowitz explored Eastern spirituality, she found Jewish mysticism and began studying it as a hobby. She never expected she would become a rabbi, but she realized her path with help from Elie Wiesel. At Temple B’nai B’rith, Jacobowitz’s goal is to be spiritually welcoming and accessible to all, like LGBT Jews and interfaith families. She struggles with her decision to live in the US instead of Israel with her family, but it is more difficult to be a woman rabbi in Israel. Jacobowitz voices her complicated feelings about Israel, acknowledging the government’s bad decisions yet still feeling love for her home and identity, a heartbreak that American Jews don’t quite understand.
