Rabbi Kerry Chaplin (he/she) (yes, that is her real name) is a spiritual counselor, ritualist, and teacher helping people live authentically. She practices and preaches an embodied, living spirituality through authentic relationship with one's own mind, body, and spirit.

This authenticity, and sharing it with community, family, and the Divine, deepens connection that helps me, you, and all of us live better. Most recently, Rabbi Kerry was a spiritual counselor at Beit T’Shuvah, where she helped addicts and their families choose life. Before joining Beit T'Shuvah in 2018, Rabbi Kerry was a Rabbinic Fellow with Lab/Shul, a community within the Jewish Emergent Network. At Lab/Shul, she co-created justice- and peace-centered rituals and drew on her community organizing background to empower people to lead and grow the community. Rabbi Kerry has also served college students and other university constituents at Vassar College and Hillel at UCLA.  

She was ordained in 2015 by the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies at American Jewish University, and received a B.A. in Religious Studies and an M.A. in Non-Profit Management from Washington University in St. Louis. 

She is an avid Iyengar yoga practitioner and a yoga teacher. She lives in Los Angeles with her wife, Julia, her daughter, Frankie, and their cat Izzy.
