Jessica Lott

Rabbi Jessica Lott, Hillel International’s Director of Jewish Educational Networks, is a Chicago native who is a graduate of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. She also holds a bachelors in Jewish and Near Eastern Studies from Washington University in St Louis and a masters in Social and Cultural Foundations of Education from DePaul University in Chicago. She loves to teach Torah and has done so with people of all kinds - from toddlers to seniors, at synagogues and summer camps, on Israel trips, in interfaith dialogue groups, and on college campuses. Her interest in stories, how we tell them, and what we learn from hearing and telling them is what led her to the rabbinate. A deep investment in innovation and pluralism lead her to Hillel. She joined Hillel International after more than two years as the Associate Director for Jewish Life and Learning at University of Maryland Hillel. Previously she worked at the Hillels at the University of Delaware and at Temple University, as well as at Hillel International. Jessica lives in Washington, DC with her husband, Rob.
