Rabbi Boris Dolin

Long before I became a rabbi, I was an aspiring circus performer. I started juggling as a teenager, taking weekly circus skills classes and doing a few informal shows and birthday parties. I tried it all–juggling, unicycling, balloon animals, and I even dabbled in acrobatics and stilt walking. After entering university, I took a bit of a break from my circus dreams to focus on my studies, eventually choosing to become a rabbi.

As a rabbi and educator, I realized quickly that much of the wisdom and joy that I found in juggling so many years ago had its place in my spiritual life and in my work of building community. From the skills gained from practicing, to the lessons learned from making mistakes, and the joy of being with other like minded people, I realized juggling was spiritual wisdom in action.

As a liberal rabbi, I work to build inclusive communities that focus on creative spirituality, music and social justice. I support religious and secular seekers, and welcome people from all faiths and no faith. I have always believed there is a place for everyone to find their spiritual path. Just like juggling, finding our way in this complicated world takes some practice!
