Rabbi Barbara Aiello, the first woman rabbi
in Italy,  served the progressive Jewish
community in Milan as  the country's first
non-orthodox rabbi. She  continues to travel
throughout Italy as a spokesperson for
modern, pluralistic Judaism.

From Serrastretta to Sarasota, Rabbi Barbara
revives Jewish traditions in Calabria, Italy
and serves Jews in Florida as rabbinic
advisor to
Congregation Ner Tamid and to
seniors at Kobernick House.

Whether she's officiating at Jewish life cycle
events in Calabria in the deep south of Italy
or living and working at Kobernick House,
Rabbi Barbara is dedicated to discovery,
connection and continuity in Judaism.

On January 21 Rabbi Barbara led an interfaith Havdalah service as the
Italian Club of Lakewood Ranch joined Congregation Ner Tamid to
extinguish the Havdalah candle together. Both groups then enjoyed a
delicious Italian dinner followed by the fourth annual "Tombola"
(Italian Bingo) event!
