In Action

Mitzvah Expo: MitzvahExpo.org

Get Informed. Be Inspired.

Mitzvah Expo is a multimedia platform including a podcast and website (MitzvahExpo.org) highlighting organizations strengthening Jewish life. It is designed to connect Jewish values with action and is driven by its motto: Get Informed. Be Inspired. Through interviews, organizational spotlights, and future live events, Mitzvah Expo features a wide range of organizations serving the Jewish community worldwide and supporting Israel. It helps listeners know how they can get involved.

Mitzvah Expo is produced, written and hosted by Rabbi Cantor Dr. Linda Bernstein and provides an interview with the organization's leader discussing its mission, current initiatives, and how it helps to address the challenges and opportunities facing Jewish communal life.

Podcast episodes, 30 minutes in length, will be distributed via MitzvahExpo.org (click “Listen/Watch”), as audio programs on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and as audio and video programs via YouTube. Each organization featured on Mitzvah Expo, the podcast, also has a “Showcase” page on MitzvahExpo.org. The page offers viewers/listeners additional information about the organization’s mission, programs, and opportunities for engagement, including volunteering, advocacy, and philanthropy.  Over time, the platform is expected to expand to include live Mitzvah Expo events, bringing community organizations together with individuals seeking ways to become more involved in Jewish life.

Clergy Activities

I love to lead services in local congregations and assisted living senior facilities serving as both rabbi and cantor. I have been fortunate to be able to provide pastoral care and musical programs to seniors which are not only uplifting for them, but for me too. It is so rewarding to see them go from tears to joyous singing.

Teaching, Writing and Research

Teaching, writing and research are other strengths. My two theses addressed synagogue life during the pandemic and the changing face of Conservative Judaism.

Purim Shpiels for All Ages

Need a Purim Shpiel? That’s one of my specialties, as producer/director, writer, actress and singer. How do you like my Dolly Parton costume for our country western Shpiel?!

Mitzvah Power Academy - Jewish Children’s Education

I created Mitzvah Power Academy, a Jewish educational enterprise for young children ages 5-10. It is comprised of 4 books, a fun website at mitzvahpower.com and videos. I visit schools to do book readings and Jewish values programs.
