Rabbi Kahan began her Jewish life at Rockdale Temple, the daughter and granddaughter of longtime Rockdale members. She studied social work at THE Ohio State University, where she was active in Hillel, and directed the MeshugaNotesa capellagroup. Rabbi Kahan was thrilled to return home to Cincinnati for her rabbinical education at Hebrew Union College. She served Rockdale as its Rabbinic Intern during her final two years at HUC, continuing her work with the congregation’s worship, music, youth, outreach and education programs, and of course, building relationships with Rockdale members. Rabbi Kahan was ordained from HUC in 2013, after completing her thesis focused on the use of sacred music in teaching children how to pray as Jews. Immediately following ordination, she began serving as Rockdale Temple’s Assistant (now Associate) Rabbi & Educator. Rabbi Kahan is a life-long lover of books and music, enjoys traveling, and can be found cheering on the Buckeyes year-round! Rabbi Kahan, along with her husband Sean Flowers, their son Seth and daughter Becca, feel blessed to be part of the Rockdale Temple family.
