From the synagogue's website:
Rabbi Lev Meirowitz Nelson was ordained in 2013 by the Rabbinical School of Hebrew College in Newton, Massachusetts. During school, he served as rabbinic intern at MIT Hillel and at the Tremont Street Shul in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a synagogue that has both egalitarian and traditional minyanim.
Before rabbinical school, Rabbi Nelson taught fifth grade for three years at the Solomon Schechter School of Manhattan, and he spent a year in Israel. He received his undergraduate degree in geology at Brown University, where he was also an active Hillel leader.
For the last two years, Rabbi Nelson has been Director of Education at T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights. He has been leading High Holiday services since 2008 in a variety of college and synagogue settings.
He, his wife Eliana, and their son Barzilai ("Buzz," for short) moved to Kensington in March. They have been active at the Flatbush Jewish Center since then, including Rabbi Nelson leading the main sanctuary service for the High Holy Days.
