"Rabbi Zoe has been a blessing for our family. We looked to her for guidance as we dreamed up our children’s Hebrew names. Rabbi Zoe’s love of Judaism and poetic spirit aided our baby-naming process. And, we were lucky enough to have her help prepare our children for their bat and bar mitzvah. Studying with Rabbi Zoe was a perfect fit for our progressive family. The kids were ready, confident and excited for their special days. We have referred Rabbi Zoe to many of our friends looking for bar/bat mitzvah support. Rabbi Zoe’s spiritual and religious gifts have enriched our lives."

Rabbi Chaya Liba Van Raan is a deeply engaged, compassionate rabbi. She is especially sensitive to people’s suffering and uncomfortableness with the ill, the suffering, and the dying. She would grace any person, family, or organization with her gifts that call her to service.

-Rabbi Ya’akov G., Boulder, Colorado

Long before Rabbi Zoe was ordained, she was my family’s teacher and rabbi. This illuminated human being expertly taught my children, myself, and all of the attendees at my childrens’ b’nei mtzvot (bat mitzvah). Her style of officiation is both strong and gentle. Anyone would be fortunate to welcome Rabbi Zoe into their lives in any capacity.
