Rabbi Gila Caine

Rabbah Gila Caine, of Edmonton, AB, fell in love with Mesillat Yesharim four years ago, and dived into a serious introduction to Mussar over a two-year period studying at CCM’s Clergy class. Born and raised in Jerusalem, she is a graduate of the Hebrew University (with a Master’s in Contemporary Judaism) as well as an alumna of HUC-JIR’s Israeli rabbinic program where she was ordained in 2011. Apart from Torah and Am-Yisrael, she is passionate about our stewardship of earth (which she understands as a critical Mussar issue in our society) and has made this the focus of her rabbinic work. Rabbi Caine has served congregations and unaffiliated Jews in Israel and now in Canada, where she currently lives with her family and is rabbi of Temple Beth Ora Synagogue.
