MAHL and Rabbinic Ordination, HUC-JIR, Jerusalem

Rabbi Wolf-Prusan served for 20 years as rabbi and senior educator at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco and assumed his duties as Rabbi and Senior Educator for Lehrhaus Judaica in October 2010. After volunteering in Israel in 1973-1974, he came to the Bay Area to teach art at UAHC Camp Swig and study at the San Francisco Art Institute.  After a decade of creating Ketubot, printmaking, working in informal education, he, along with his wife, Becki and one-year-old Leora, traveled back to Israel in 1985 to learn at the Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion (best of all, adding Avital and Noah to the family along the way).

Rabbi Wolf-Prusan has continued his learning at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem and with the Consortium for Jewish Family Education.  He and Becki live in San Francisco.
