Why Jewtique Concierge Rabbinic Services?

Most American Jews today are not members of a congregation nor enjoy an ongoing pastoral relationship with a rabbi. In short, Jewish life-cycle services are now driven by the most open market-place in Jewish history. Jewtique Concierge Rabbinic Services offers high-quality rabbinic services to people who embrace this personalized approach to Jewish life.

Rabbi David Greenspoon

This relational rabbinate does not start and stop within Jewish contexts and applications. I am privileged to be a founding member of the Loudoun Clergy and Faith Leaders Group and am deeply engaged in local civic concerns. My professional affiliations include the Washington Board of Rabbis, and the National Association of Jewish Chaplains. I am also honored to hold ecclesiastical endorsement from the Jewish Welfare Board Jewish Chaplains Council.

The majority of my career has been based in the Washington-Baltimore corridor, with exceptions in Pittsburgh, PA, and Pittsfield, MA. Two years were spent as a professional educator, teaching middle and high school students in an independent Jewish Day School. Some of the more interesting experiences from my pulpit service include leading various rabbinic and interfaith clergy groups, teaching as a Rabbinic Instructor at a Catholic high school outside of Pittsburgh, serving on the Berkshire Medical Center Patient Care Ethics Committee, and most recently on the initial Loudoun County Public Schools Ad Hoc Committee on Equity. The most exceptional experience is being the only rabbi known to have been granted a private audience with his Holiness the Abbot of the Menri Monastery, the 33rd Menri Trizin and former leader of the Bon people, the late Lungtok Tenpai Nyima. (The Bon are the indigenous people of Tibet whom the Dalai Lama recognizes as the authentic custodians of Tibetan culture.)

Beyond my professional interests I enjoy playing mandolin unplugged or otherwise, hearing live music (especially bluegrass/newgrass/jamgrass and associated music), spending time in natural settings, and specialty coffee. A good book, fiction or otherwise, still always grabs my attention. Vacation destinations might include a good beach, mountains, or interesting city, spending time in Israel, discovering new destinations, or wherever the next Jimmy Buffett gig might be.
