Rabbi Miriam Margles is the Associate Rabbi at Kehillat Lev Shalem (The Congregation of a Full Heart), in Woodstock, New York. A graduate of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, she is cofounder of Encounter Programs, engaging American Jewish leaders in face-to-face encounters with Palestinians in the West Bank.

She creates an atmosphere of playful, attentive, and open exploration for nonartists and artists alike to explore inner landscapes and the wider world. Her dance background includes ballet, Israeli folk dancing, modern, and contact improvisation, and she is a composer of original liturgical music as well as a published poet.
Rabbi Margles has worked with the Institute for Jewish Spirituality, TOVA Artistic Projects for Social Change, The Nesiya Institute, and Jewish college students at Harvard, Drexel, and Temple universities.
