Approaches
A series of sessions focused on a journey out of ways of being and behaviors you want to change. Building a better culture on your team. Gettiing the most out of your people at work, sometimes through making changes in yourself. Working on identifying professional, personal, and spiritual roadblocks and ways through them. Getting out of Egypt takes focus & purpose. Grounded, meaningful, & particularly apt for early stages of meaningful change and ongoing growth.
10-15 hour packages. Meant as a limited engagement with focused goals, and a beginning and an end inside of about 6 months. Can be accelerated or slowed given client needs. We usually meet about every other week. |
Longer Term:
Longer-term wrestling with purpose and meaning. A long series of sessions focused on your life's journey, choices, purpose, and the path ahead, including the story you tell yourself and others about where you are headed and why. Ideal for working through organizational transformations like mergers or acquisitions, big career transitions, founders passing the baton to the next generation, all while staying grounded and acknowledging the soulful pieces of the transition. .
20-hour packages. Often renewed multiple times over multiple years, as the work deepens and we meet specific objectives and move on to new ones. Per-hour fee lower than "Get Outta Egypt" per hour fee. We usually meet about every other week. There are times when this work broadens into limited work with the CEO and top team on questions of organizational development, strategy, transition planning and/or succession. |
Intensive:
Round the clock intensive support. Minimum one-year commitment. Intensive work that allows for quickening and deepening of work and a high degree of support at times of great change. Ideal for support when you are under unusual amounts of stress in organizational transitions, and for support and spiritual sustenance in early recovery.
Quarterly retainer, comprehensive fee per quarter (no hourly charges) 1-year minimum commitment Limited slots We usually meet about every other week, with other support coming between, and Rabbi Sue is available (except on Shabbat) for immediate & unscheduled support. |

A Year (+/-) of Small-Group Study:
Intro to and/or Conversion to Judaism
Rabbi Sue works on a select basis with small groups of candidates for an introduction to and/or conversion to Judaism. When Rabbi Sue has 3-5 candidates interested who are well-matched to study with her and together in a small group, she begins about a year-long process of study and activities with the goal of the students being successful candidates for conversion, if desired. Her students engage in an Oxford tutorial-style series of conversations that one of her students quipped is 'like a graduate-level seminar.' The small group meets usually about every other week, where the 3-5 students read assignments, write personal reflections given prompts on the assignments, and engage in lively discussion and debate of the topics in a small-group setting. Topics covered include time, prayer, God, Torah. Talmud and other Jewish texts, halakhah (Jewish law), Jewish history, Jewish values, holidays, lifecycles, Israel/Palestine, and modern diasporas and identities. Rabbi Sue conducts these sessions remotely on videoconference with students from all over, and she is also available to convene a beit din (rabbinical panel) and mikveh (ritual bath) for conversion rituals at the end of this course of study in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. Students for conversion are also required to participate in Jewish life in and around their homes and online during this period of study, so they become adept at navigating, learning, and praying in Jewish spaces *
*Note that all candidates are clearly and transparently informed that while this course of study and conversion will allow them to move comfortably as a knowledgeable Jew in egalitarian American settings, the conversion will not carry the imprimatur of any movement rabbinic authority, and the potential adverse consequences of this such as not being able to marry in Israel nor emigrate to Israel are always made clear to the candidates.
