Honoring Rabbi Ari and Gila Isenberg
For Rabbi Ari & Gila, it was love at first “swipe”. They matched on the Jewish dating app Jswipe and quickly discovered some interesting coincidences. For example, their paternal grandparents’ names are identical; both celebrated their B’nai Mitzvah on Shabbat Parashat Naso; and Gila graduated from McGill University in Montreal, Rabbi Ari’s hometown. But that was just the beginning of their compatibility.Beyond the surface similarities, Rabbi Ari & Gila share core values, foremost among them, a love of Am Yisrael (the Jewish People) and Medinat Yisrael (the State of Israel). As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, Gila is active in Jewish advocacy by confronting antisemitism both online and in the workplace, and by supporting organizations that sustain Holocaust survivors and promote Holocaust education (such as 3GNY, ADL, and the Museum of Jewish Heritage). Their love for the State of Israel is reflected in their active involvement in JNF, FIDF, WIZO, and AIPAC, as well as organizations that support progresive causes in Israel such as the Masorti Foundation (promoting religious pluralism) and Jerusalem Open House (promoting LGBT inclusion).
