A native of Worcester, MA, Will served United Methodist congregations in eastern Massachusetts before moving to Maine in 2019.

Will contributes frequently to "The Word Is Resistance,” a lectionary-based, anti-racist podcast created through SURJ-Faith, the religious organizing program of 'Showing Up for Racial Justice.'

Title A name given to the resource Rabbi Rachel Isaacs Subject The topic of the resource Queer Spirit Podcast Description An account of the resource In 2014, a magazine ran a feature story with this intriguing title: “Fifteen American Rabbis You Haven’t Heard of, But Should.” Rabbi Rachel Isaacs is one of those unsung – or formerly unsung – fifteen. Happily, those of us in Maine know her and appreciate her ministry. Rabbi Isaacs is the spiritual leader of Beth Israel Congregation in Waterville and also faculty at Colby College, where she holds the Dorothy Levine Alfond chair in Jewish studies. Since 2015 she has also served as the director of Colby’s Center for Small Town Jewish Life. Yet another article, entitled “What a Quiet Revolutionary Looks Like,” describes some of her life journey this way: “Rachel Isaacs knew by the age of 13 she wanted to be a rabbi. Awareness of her sexuality came later. ‘I came out to myself around 14,’ she has shared. ‘I started the Gay-Straight Alliance in high school.’ At college, ‘being gay was in no way noteworthy. Openly lesbian, . . . she was ready [to go on to] rabbinical school, [but] Conservative Judaism was not ready for her. Isaacs spent two years at Reform Judaism’s Hebrew Union College—Jewish Institute of religion and transferred to the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York as soon as the school admitted openly gay and lesbian rabbinical students in 2007.” She was ordained by JTS in 2011. Currently, Rachel lives in Waterville with her wife Melanie Weiss and their two daughters.

Title A name given to the resource Rabbi Jared Saks Subject The topic of the resource Queer Spirit Podcast Description An account of the resource Rabbi Jared Saks, a New Jersey native, is the spiritual leader of Congregation Bet Ha’am in South Portland, the largest reform congregation in northern New England, where he has served since 2011. He lives in South Portland with his husband Kirk and their young son. The Reform movement in Judaism has been an open and accepting place for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people for many years. That message of acceptance is inspired by core Jewish values and “really goes back to our narrative as people,” Saks has explained. “Thirty-six times in Torah, more often than any other commandment, we’re advised to care for the widow, the orphan and the stranger, which are the Bible’s metaphors for the weakest members of our society, the people that are on the fringes.” The message is, “Make sure you don’t leave other people there, that you watch out for people on the fringe.’” “Part of my responsibility as a Rabbi,” Saks has pointed out, “is to help inspire my congregation and the Jewish community to fix the world in which we live.” Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Marvin Ellison and Tamara Torres-McGovern Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Rabbi Jared Saks
