Rabbi Regina Sandler-Phillips facilitates transformation at the nexus of spirituality, sustainability, and social justice. Her guidance for end-of-life sacred fellowship has helped to empower caring communities worldwide. Rabbi Regina is the editor of GENEROUS JUSTICE: Jewish Wisdom for Just-Giving and the author of COUNTING DAYS: From Liberation to Revelation for Jews in Recovery. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Earth Island Journal, Tricycle, The Forward, The Jewish Week, Tablet Magazine, and in the books Parting Ways and Saying Goodbye to Someone You Love. Rabbi Regina lived and worked for social change in Israel during the turbulent years of 1989-1994, was honored for her leadership in the post-9/11 NYC disaster relief, and participated in the 2005 interfaith Bearing Witness Retreat at Auschwitz-Birkenau. She holds masters degrees in social work and public health, with additional training in clinical pastoral education (CPE), conflict resolution, and spiritual direction. Having served as a chaplain, educator, and cantorial soloist in a range of community settings, Rabbi Regina feels equally at home keeping a quiet hospital bedside vigil, dancing and playing with babies and toddlers, facilitating a lively adult learning debate, or speaking and singing from the pulpit or podium.
