Rabbi Nathan Martin

Rabbi Nathan Martin is a graduate from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (RRC). Before coming to Beth Israel, where he has served as Associate Rabbi since 2017, Rabbi Nathan worked as an Assistant Director of the University of Michigan Hillel (2006-10), and also served as the Director of Student Life at RRC (2010-17). 

Rabbi Nathan brings a passion to his work for creating spirit-filled, caring communities that are also dedicated to the important work of repairing the world and healing our planet. In the area of religious environmental leadership he completed 2-year training with Greenfaith and recently completed six years of Board Service fo Pennsylvania Interfaith Power and Light, a statewide interfaith environmental organization. Rabbi Nathan also completed a two-year training in Jewish mindfulness practice with the Institute for Jewish Spirituality (IJS). In his learning and teaching he particularly finds himself drawn to the ways in which our spiritually oriented texts in our tradition can help inform and guide our practice as Jews today.

Rabbi Nathan is also a proud parent of two children, Hadassah and Yehuda, a committed hiker, and an aspiring gardener. And he is lucky to be partnered with Abby Weinberg, herself a Jewish professional working for the Germantown Jewish Center.
