Rabbi Sydney Mintz was ordained in 1997 by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion where she progressed through the Jerusalem, Los Angeles, and New York campuses.

Rabbi Mintz has served on the Reform Movement’s Commission on Social Action, the Board of the Brandeis Hillel Day School, the Pacific Association of Reform Rabbis, the Rabbinic Advisory Councils of Shalom Bayit and the San Francisco Jewish Domestic Violence Board and the Jewish Community High School of the Bay. She currently serves on the Executive Board of the Women’s Rabbinical Network and the National Board of Jewish Funds for Justice. In addition to lecturing widely in the area of Midrash and Jewish humor, she is currently on the Board of the Documentary Production, “A Gift for Laughter-Comedy and the Jews.”

Rabbi Mintz became a Senior Rabbinic Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem after completing her fellowship in 2004. She helped to found the award winning Late Shabbat Young Adult Program at Congregation Emanu-El where she has served as Rabbi since her ordination in 1997. Although Rabbi Mintz dreams that real Chicago pizza existed in San Francisco, she would never dream of giving up life in the vibrant Jewish community of the Bay Area.

Rabbi Mintz led Team Emanu-El in the AIDS Lifecycle Ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles and is an avid open ocean swimmer.
