Tehilah Eisenstadt

Tehilah Eisenstadt founded Wonder and Repair, through which she develops approaches to community-building and care that incorporate best practices in trauma-informed education and ritual. Her 11 years of interfaith speaking engagements, education consulting, and organizing led to Wonder and Repair’s first project in 2020: God Conversations. A second cohort will launch in 2025. Tehilah is currently Associate Director of Congregational Learning at East End Temple, a Clal Associate, and a 2027 candidate for rabbinic ordination at The Academy for Jewish Religion. She spent 15 years serving as a Director of Education in synagogues, day schools, and JCCs across the denominational spectrum throughout New York City’s five boroughs. In those roles, Tehilah focused on deepening the emotional resonance of educational experiences, creating a leadership pipeline through staff mentorship, and enabling Jews who felt they didn’t belong to connect with Jewish community. Tehilah holds a Master’s degree in Midrash and Jewish Education from The Jewish Theological Seminary and a B.A. in English Literature from Binghamton University. She lives in Brooklyn.
