Jamie Korngold Explained
Jamie Korngold is a Reform Jewish rabbi. In 2001, she founded the Adventure Rabbi program, a not-for-profit organization based in Boulder, Colorado which integrates spirituality and the outdoors.[1] [2] For example, people in the Adventure Rabbi program
...climb mountains, go skiing, play the guitar and sing around a campfire.[3]
Rabbi Korngold is the spiritual leader of the Adventure Rabbi program,[4] and envisioned it because she
experienced her most vibrant Jewish experiences in the outdoors. From scaling mountains to running ultra-marathons, she has found that the spirituality of the wilderness awakens Judaism.[5]
She was ordained by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, from which she holds a Master in Hebrew Letters. She also graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in natural resources.[6] In 2008 her book God in the Wilderness was published; it is about finding spiritual meaning in outdoor experiences.[7] In 2011 her book The God Upgrade was published, which advocates modernizing the contemporary notion of God so that it becomes compatible with both science and Judaism.[8] In 2011 she also published 9 children’s’ books including a book about Sukkot, titled Sadie's Sukkah Breakfast.
