Suzanne is a graduate of Wellesley College, has a PhD in neuroscience, and received rabbinic ordination from the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles, CA in 2012. Throughout all of the stages in her life's journey, Rabbi Brody's passion for innovating new ways to share a love of learning about and doing Judaism has found outlets in creating dynamic programming for Jews of all ages. She has worked in both formal and informal educational settings and has designed and taught numerous adult education courses with an emphasis on the stories of infertility found in the Jewish tradition and the treasures she finds in the Talmud.
