We are delighted to welcome Rabbi Daniel “Danny” Price to Congregation B’nai Midbar.
Rabbi Daniel “Danny” Price received his Rabbinic Ordination from the Academy for Jewish Religion in New York. He has over two decades of experience as a Rabbi, Educator, and Cantorial Soloist.
With a B.A. in Music/Communications from Plattsburgh State University and a MJEd Master of Jewish Education from Hebrew College, he began his professional journey with a 21-year career as a television producer/director in New York.
Discovering Tucson several years ago via bicycle training, he fell in love with the city.
Like many of us, after several trips, he bought a home here in Tucson.
Rabbi Price has served as Rabbi for a number of Congregations in Southwest Fairfield County, Conn. For eight years he was both Rabbi and Cantorial Soloist for High Holy Day Services on Block Island, R.I. He served as interim Rabbi/Cantorial soloist at Congregation Beth Shalom-Rodef Tzedek in Chester, Conn., in 2022-23. Most recently Rabbi Price has served as the Rabbi-in–Residence at Kol Ami in Tucson.
Working remotely, Rabbi Price is the Controller for the Academy for Jewish Religion in New York.
Rabbi Price believes that Judaism is compelling, like art or Shakespeare. The more you know, the more you want to know. Danny is a Reform Rabbi and sees himself as both a docent and a teacher of Liberal Judaism. He believes in creating advocates for the Jewish People through informal Jewish Education. The more we know, the more meaningful our connection to Judaism and thus the more we are able to answer or find answers to questions others, Jew and non-Jew alike, may ask.
Danny is a trained musician who plays bass and sings with Klezmerkaba, Tucson’s premier Klezmer Band. He also plays in two local rock ‘n’ roll bands.
Rabbi Price wishes to enhance and invigorate our pulpit along with spiritual and educational opportunities.
We welcome Rabbi Price and his family to B’nai Midbar.
Big Changes in Store!
The year 5785 marks some new changes and faces. We welcome Rabbi Daniel Price to our pulpit. Our new Torah will be a highlight at our High Holiday services.
New Meeting Place. We are lucky to live in a very vibrant and active community. Often, due to the many activities we have, the availability of meeting rooms cannot keep up with demand. Knowing the circumstances, our need to have meeting places available to coincide with the Jewish calendar created a need to look at alternatives. We have been successful in finding an offsite location.
The Santa Catalina Catholic Church has a beautiful campus, and they have been very welcoming to our request. The church has agreed to provide the necessary space to hold our services at their Parish House. Our congregation will have the consistency to plan, organize, and worship together, knowing where and when we will be, including Onegs and the Yom Kippur ‘Break the Fast.’
The church is approximately 8 miles from SaddleBrooke with a travel time of 15 to 20 minutes by car. Parking is plentiful. We understand that some members and guests would like to carpool. Contact Esta Goldstein at [email protected] with your carpool request.
