Pronouns: he, they, and love
Lev Michael Moses (aka Fresh) is a Love and Compassion Activist. He is Kehilla’s newest Spiritual Leader. Lev has existed as a spiritual leader and guide in several capacities since the 90s when he exercised ghosts from spaces in San Francisco. He is currently and humbly in the process of deepening his learning in Jewish text study and practices while receiving guidance from our Spiritual Leadership team. In the process of learning, you may experience Lev leading and/or co-leading during our holiday events. Lev is especially excited to hold space such as BIPOC Shabbat and BIPOC Chanukah in collaboration and with support of our senior BIPOC congregants.
Lev’s other spiritual homes include the East Bay Mediation Center, Alameda Sangha, and Dhamma Dena Retreat Center to name a few. He continues to lead, teach, or facilitate retreats in Insight Buddhist communities while providing a space for new teachers to step into. His more recent training as a teacher of Mindful Self Compassion allows Lev to finer tune his message; we all deserve belonging and to feel loved.
Professionally, Lev offers his life energy toward healing himself and the world through mindfulness practice, offering mediation, and diversity training as paths or tools for shifting towards more authentic, conscious, and passionate living for all. Lev teaches and writes about how unconditional self-love and self-compassion are the ultimate gateways to honoring and understanding others; thus, healing our overwhelmed communities and our stressed-out planet.
Called by various names, you are welcome to call them Lev, Fresh, some like Fresh Lev, and even Love. His pronouns are he, they, and love, and he’s open to anything kind.
