Rabbi Bronwen Mullin (ord. 2017, MA Midrash JTS, BA in Theater and Religious Studies, Sarah Lawrence College) is a graduate of the very first Teaching Kollel of SVARA and has been honored to serve on the faculty ever since. When not at SVARA she serves as the Cantor of Congregation Beth Shalom in Wilmington, Delaware. Rabbi Bronwen has also held teaching positions at JTS, The Schechter Institute in Jerusalem, The Academy of Jewish Religion in New York, Art Kibbutz New York (where she also served as Artistic Director), the Romemu Yeshiva, the JCC of Manhattan, and the 14th Street Y. When not doing any of that she is making original, strange works of Jewish theater and installation.
Selected works include: “Chalom: A Dream Opera” (Hebrew/Aramaic, International Fringe Festival/FringeNYC 2012); “Bat Yiftach: A Tragic Punk Opera” (English/Hebrew, The Kreischer Mansion 2016) and “Ca’asi Revaya: Nigunim For A Raging Heart” (album release Winter 2022), and “The Oven of Aknai” (The Rabbinic Arts Company at The Fallser Club, 2024). But SVARA is where she gets to practice fully her most beloved art form—radical Judaism.
