Raphael works part time at Darkaynu in Warrington and is a
musical performer, having produced several religious-themed
albums. Targan has taught in the graduate program at the Florence
Melton Adult Mini-School at Gratz College and has conducted
workshops and writes; she is working on a book. Levin lectures
and leads classes.

On the other hand, freelancing allows for interesting and unique
experiences. Targan once was flown to France to officiate a wedding.

Another time, she officiated a surprise wedding where no one but the
bride and groom knew. Both Raphael and Hirsch have worked on
cruise ships performing High Holiday services. Experiences like those
are part of what motivates clergy to pursue an independent rabbinate.

“We all have to create our own lives, and to create a life of
service. This is the best way that I know how to do that for myself
and the community,” Targan said. “By and large, I’m living a life of
service, and this is the way I chose to serve.” ❤
