Meet Rabbi Megan!

January 17, 2022 by Kayli Modell

Name: Rabbi Megan GoldMarche

My job at Tribe 12: The new Executive Director starting February 1, 2022

My pandemic silver lining was…Shabbat dinners with my family- pre-pandemic we often hosted upwards of 50 people weekly, which we loved, but the intimate family dinners were a treat!

Favorite thing about myself: Making new people feel comfortable – I get a lot of great stories on airplanes

Jewish holiday I could celebrate every day: Sukkot- because it brings people together for good food and community outdoors- we barely had to change how we celebrate in pandemic!

Quirkiest hobby: Craft beer buying

Highlight of my Spotify wrapped: everything my toddler makes me listen to on repeat- luckily she lets us intersperse Spice Girls with Cocomelon

Secret superpower: Hosting 30 people for Shabbat dinner in a room that should not fit more than 10 (pre-pandemic of course)

Philly is the best city for… Reuniting with old college friends (I am a Penn Alum)… I have a hazy memory of great margaritas- I am ready for restaurant recommendations

Highlight of my Spotify wrapped: I was in the top 0.1% of listeners for Port Arthur (a Philly band!)

Favorite Jewish food: Shakshuka, latkes, coconut matzah bark, Bissli Pizza

If I didn’t live in Philly I’d live… in Berlin!

Did you make a pandemic friend? Yes! several!

New Years resolution: Wake up at 7:00am every day again.

Life hack: Using paper I get in the mail – bills, insurance notices, etc. – as printer paper. I almost never need to buy paper.

If I didn’t live in Philly I’d live… in Vienna

Quirkiest hobby: Rearranging my room

I’m not awake until I… Write my morning pages (for you Artist Way fans out there)
