After a career as a clinical social worker, Me'irah Illinsky graduated from Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 2007. In her capacity as a rabbi, she is both a passionate teacher and an artist. Iliinsky is the illustrator of The Torah: A Women's Commentary (URJ Press & the Women of Reform Judaism), National Jewish Book Award Winner.

Convinced of the power of sacred texts to deepen our lives, she illuminates the meaning of verses with design and color to bring us close to Torah. At this lunch and learn program, Rabbi Me'irah will bring a selection of her artwork, showing how she interprets verses from Torah to give deeper meaning to everyday experience, and help people to "step into the Jewish paradigm."
