Rabbi Mike Uram

 

Position: Director

Email Rabbi Mike!

   

Rabbi Mike is a confused and passionate Jew. He has spent time in all of the denominations and he is most comfortable talking with people who are not quite sure what they believe. Mike is originally from Cleveland, but he has lived in NY, Chicago, and Jerusalem. He is married to Leora Eisenstadt, an amazing lawyer in Philly. Outside of working with the Jewish Renaissance Project, Mike likes to bike and hike and listen to bad music (think Bon Jovi).

 

 

     

Debbie Yunker


Position: Assistant Director

Email Debbie!

 

   

Debbie thinks that Judaism is fascinating and wants to talk to you about it. Around campus, you'll find Debbie picking up the tab for coffee, taking flyers from everyone on Locust Walk, and sitting at random places around campus (although Houston Hall is her favorite). Originally, from Framingham, MA, Debbie has also lived in Atlanta, St. Louis, and New York. When she is not moving around the country or hustling between coffeeshops, Debbie enjoys cooking, traveling, and exploring Philly.

Dan graduated from the University of Pittsburgh where he majored in theatre arts and religious studies. At Pitt he rocked the Ultimate Frisbee team as captain for 2 years.
