Nina Beth Cardin

RABBI NINA BETH CARDIN is a rabbi, author, and environmental activist ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary in 1988, among the first women ordained as rabbis in Conservative Judaism. Her books include Tears of Sorrow, Seeds of Hope: A Jewish Spiritual Companion for Infertility and Pregnancy Loss, The Tapestry of Jewish Time: A Spiritual Guide to Holidays and Lifecycle Events, and Mourning a Miscarriage.

Following ordination, Cardin held positions at the Jewish Theological Seminary as Assistant to the Vice Chancellor and Visiting Lecturer in Theology, and served as founding associate director of the National Center for Jewish Healing in 1994.
