Rabbi Ashira Stevens
Spiritual Leader

Contact Rabbi Ashira Stevens

Rabbi Ashira Stevens was ordained at Hebrew College in June 2023.

Rabbi Stevens is originally from the Midwest and completed her undergraduate education at Indiana University in marketing and international studies. After moving to Boston, she discovered her passion for learning Hebrew and anything related to Judaism. In 2005, she completed a master of arts in Jewish studies at Hebrew College, where she also helped to develop the online learning programs. Through her experiences teaching in local area synagogues and at Prozdor, she fell in love with Jewish education which led to her decision to pursue the rabbinate.

During her time as a rabbinical student, Rabbi Stevens served as the rabbinic intern at Temple Emanu-El, at the Jewish Learning Collaborative of Metrowest, and at Temple Beth David in Westwood. She also spent a summer as a student chaplain at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She finds particular delight in making Judaism accessible and relevant for people of all ages and backgrounds, whether through exploring sacred texts, sharing meaningful ritual moments, or talking over coffee or a meal.

Rabbi Stevens lives in Natick with her spouse, Aaron, and their three children—Caleb (17), Ellie (15), and Jacob (10). In addition to enjoying time with her family and friends, Rabbi Stevens spends her free time reading, practicing Zentangle (a meditative art form), enjoying music—sometimes even playing clarinet—baking, and walking through the woods. She is thrilled to be returning to Temple Emanu-El and looks forward to meeting and reacquainting herself with the community.
