Getzel is in his eleventh year as a rabbinic presence and chaplain at Harvard. Over his tenure, he has seen students transform themselves through their connection to this place. They graduate happier, more sure of who they are, connected to something bigger than themselves. Getzel’s passion is helping students explore what healthy relationships look like with themselves, with community, and with the world. He has semichah (Rabbinic Ordination) and a Masters in Jewish Education from Hebrew College. He is also a certified in Family Systems Therapy and has a small private practice in Cambridge. Getzel is passionate about egalitarianism, mysticism, Talmud, pluralism. Getzel is married to Leah, an Associate Professor and Palliative Care Doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital and ‘tatti’ to three young children - Asher, Esther, and Binah.
