Rabbi Hannah Wallick is honored to be part of the warm, welcoming congregational family of Beth Hillel Temple.. 

 

Prior to BHT, she served for three years as Director of Camp Young Judaea Midwest. Having grown up in the Habonim Dror youth movement, camp became a natural extension of her lifelong commitment to helping young people form meaningful, thoughtful relationships with Jewish identity and Israel.  

 

Her move from the East Coast to the Midwest was precipitated by the role of Vice President of Leadership and Global at the Milwaukee Jewish Federation, where she worked for over a decade.  Rabbi Hannah started her career at Big Tent Judaism and worked with a wide variety of families on education and life cycle events throughout rabbinical school. 

 

Working in non-traditional congregations, Rabbi Hannah served a rural congregation in Southern Maryland with congregants ranging from Orthodox to atheist, an urban congregation in Tribeca, a growing congregation of young adults in Long Island City, Queens, and small and diverse community in Appleton, WI. Throughout her career, Rabbi Hannah has worked on creating a more inclusive Jewish community towards interfaith families, LGBTQ, Jews of color, and anyone who has felt marginalized in Jewish life.

 

Rabbi Hannah has rabbinic ordination and a Masters in Jewish Education from the Jewish Theological Seminary and a BA in Jewish Studies from the University of Pennsylvania. A lifelong learner, Rabbi Hannah’s additional coursework has included UW-Madison Business School,  the Nonprofit Center in New York, Union Theological Seminary, Boardified at the Kellogg School at Northwestern, and hospital chaplaincy at Norwalk Hospital.

 

Rabbi Hannah has two teenage children and two adult stepchildren with her husband Karl Wallick, a professor and architect.

 

Warm and personable, Rabbi Hannah brings to Beth Hillel Temple a passion for education, innovative programming, a love for music, and a commitment to helping people connect to one another and to Judaism.
