My name is Rachel Barenblat. I'm a student in the Aleph rabbinic program; I blog at Velveteen Rabbi (http://velveteenrabbi.blogs.com/blog/), named one of Time.com's top 25 blogs. My most poetry collection is chaplainbook, (laupe house press 2006), a collection of poems arising out of hospital chaplaincy work.
