...climb mountains, go skiing, play the guitar and sing around a campfire.

Rabbi Korngold is the spiritual leader of the Adventure Rabbi program, and envisioned it because she

experienced her most vibrant Jewish experiences in the outdoors. From scaling mountains to running ultra-marathons, she has found that the spirituality of the wilderness awakens Judaism.

She was ordained by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, from which she holds a Master in Hebrew Letters. She also graduated from Cornell University with a B.S. in natural resources. In 2008 her book God in the Wilderness was published; it is about finding spiritual meaning in outdoor experiences. In 2011 her book The God Upgrade was published, which advocates modernizing the contemporary notion of God so that it becomes compatible with both science and Judaism. In 2011 she also published a children's book about Sukkot, titled Sadie's Sukkah Breakfast.
