Rabbi Sofia Freudenstein

Rabbi Sofia Freudenstein loves making Torah and ideas accessible to all who seek to know more about our tradition and the values underpinning our holy texts. She is currently the Director of Jewish Life and Learning at the Jewish Community of Helsinki.

After completing her undergraduate degree, she pursued the lifelong dream of going to Yeshivat Maharat, after meeting Rabba Sara Hurwitz when she was 11. Over her time at Maharat, she was a Senior Fellow at R’ Aryeh Klapper’s Summer Beit Midrash, spent a year at Yeshivat Drisha, and has interned at ASBI in Chicago and HIR in Riverdale. She hopes to empower others to see themselves in our tradition and hone a sense of intuition about what God is telling us through Torah about what it means to live ethically in the world.
