Rabbi Batsheva Meiri

Ordained by the Hebrew College Jewish Institute of Religion in 1996, Rabbi Batsheva H. Meiri is currently the spiritual leader of Congregation Beth HaTephila in Asheville, North Carolina. Inspired by her training at the Jewish Institute for Spirituality, for the last decade she has turned her rabbinic focus both personally and professionally to exploring meditation and Jewish spirituality and how to integrate mindfulness into mainstream synagogue life. She has partnered with various mindfulness teachers in the Asheville community who specialize in different modalities of mind, body and soul work, to develop classes and experiences that infuse Judaism into contemplative yoga classes, mindfulness and spirituality classes, retreats for adults and b’nai mitzvah students and adventure trips abroad.
