Rabbi Malik

Rabbi Lisa Malik was ordained as a Conservative rabbi by the Jewish Theological Seminary in May, 2004.

Upon graduating from JTS, she was the recipient of the prestigious Bernard and Sydell Citron Memorial Prize and was selected by the faculty as the top student of the graduating class.  Over the past 15 years, Rabbi Malik has worked in various Jewish educational and rabbinic contexts.  As a Jewish education consultant and researcher, she conducted research and provided guidance to various national and regional Jewish organizations around the country in the areas of strategic planning, curriculum development, and Jewish family education.  For over a decade, she has led High Holydays services on both the East Coast and West Coast- ranging from Temple Har Zion in Penn Valley, PA to Stanford Hillel in California. 

Since moving to the Philadelphia area in 1998, Rabbi Malik has become well known in the local Jewish community as a passionate Jewish educator who has taught Torah, Midrash, Talmud, and Tefillah to both adults and children.  Before coming to SJCC Bnai Aaron, Rabbi Malik served as the Rabbinic Intern of Congregation Beth Am Israel in Penn Valley and as the Adult Education Curriculum Director of Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El in Wynnewood.  From 1989-1998, she worked as the Education Director of Congregation Beth Sholom in San Francisco.  Rabbi Malik received her Ph.D. in Jewish Education Administration and Policy Analysis from Stanford University.  She is also a graduate of the Wharton Business School and the University of Pennsylvania.  Growing up in Brooklyn, she was the valedictorian of the Yeshivah of Flatbush.  

Rabbi Malik's greatest joys are her husband, Cantor Professor Adi Wyner, her son, Ariel, and her daughters, Eva and Rivkah-Gina.
