Biography:
Born in Dayton, Ohio and raised in Southern California, Rabbi Sherre Hirsch was a high school cheerleader and an accomplished college tennis player headed to medical school when, driven by a desire to deepen her understanding of her faith, she began studying at the Jewish Theological Seminary.
After a detour through Asia, where she studied eastern philosophy, Rabbi Hirsch was ordained in 1998. She spent the next 8 years as the first woman rabbi at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, the largest Conservative synagogue in the western U.S. During her tenure at Sinai that Rabbi Hirsch first stepped out from behind the formal podium to move among the congregation, building a more personal relationship with her audience.
Since leaving Sinai in 2006 she has been sharing her unique blend of the spiritual and the everyday with a larger audience, appearing on “The Today Show” , “ABC News”, “Inside Edition”, “Faith Matters Now” and “Thirty Good Minutes” as a spiritual commentator, discussing interfaith issues as a frequent guest on “KTLA News” and “Naomi’s New Morning” show, and offering relationship advice on “The Tyra Banks Show.” She has been a regular on “The Joan Hamburg Show,” and is a frequent commentator for MomLogic.com”. Rabbi Hirsch also serves as the spiritual life consultant and teacher for the Canyon Ranch Spas in Arizona and Massachusetts.
Her first book, We Plan, God Laughs: 10 Steps to Finding Your Divine Path When Life Is Not Turning Out Like You Wanted (Doubleday), was published in April 2008. The book reflects a theme in Hirsch’s own life and she expertly guides readers through a spiritual and introspective journey toward reaching their divine potential.
Rabbi Hirsch spends her free time practicing yoga, shopping for shoes, and dancing in the living room with her husband Jeff and three young children: son Emet and daughters Eden and Alia.
