Rabbi Jodie Gordon

Jodie Gordon is a rabbi at Hevreh of Southern Berkshire, a Reform congregation in Great Barrington, MA where she has served since her ordination from HUC-JIR in 2014. She earned her BA from Brandeis University majoring both in Sociology and Near Eastern & Judaic Studies.

Jodie grew up with strong connections in the Reform movement, especially through her time at URJ Eisner Camp, which instilled in her a lifelong love for Jewish learning and the Berkshires. Her path to the rabbinate was paved with invaluable experiences in a variety of Jewish communal institutions, including the Hillel at the University of Wisconsin, The JCC  in Manhattan, and Ma’yan: The Jewish Women’s Project. 

Jodie is part of the Tisch Rabbinical Fellowship Alumni program of HUC. She is also the co-host of the OMfG Podcast: Jewish Wisdom for Unprecedented Times. Jodie and her husband Josh are the proud parents of Lola and Goldie, who are consistently the greatest teachers she has ever had.
