Rabbi Rafi Kaiserblueth
Rafi Kaiserblueth was born in
Puerto Rico, USA and grew up in Los Angeles, California. He went
to Israel for his first year out of high school on the Nativ
Program and eventually earned a degree in Military History from
Columbia University in New York and a degree in Talmud from the
Jewish Theological Seminary,
New York concurrently.
Following graduation, he lived
and worked in Argentina with the Jewish community, both in
Buenos Aires and in the provinces to the north. It was during
this year of work and immersion that Rafi decided to apply to
Seminary and entered the following year to begin the process of
becoming a rabbi.
While studying, Rafi also
found time to drive an ambulance in Manhattan and join the
United States Navy Chaplain Candidate Program. Rafi was ordained
with a concentration in Pastoral Care as well as a Masters in
Jewish Studies. Along with his connection to SAMS, Rafi also was
instrumental in helping to establish the new Masorti community
of
Elstree & Borehamwood.
Rafi has been the visiting
scholar and residence to
St Albans Masorti Synagogue since December
2007 and now following ordination, Rafi has taken over as Rabbi
at
St Albans Masorti Synagogue.
Along with his posting at SAMS, he is also a Reserve Chaplain
with the United States Navy Chaplain Corps.
