Our Clergy
Rabbi Danielle Parmenter has worked in the greater Philadelphia Jewish community for more than 15 years teaching Jews of every age from all walks of life. She was ordained in 2014 by the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and holds a Master of Judaic Studies degree from Boston University where she focused on medieval Jewish philosophy. Rabbi Danielle worked for 5 years as the Rabbi of Congregational Learning at a local Conservative synagogue where she cultivated a vibrant young family community, religious school and teen program. Likewise, she served the community rabbinically — nurturing spirituality and a deepened connection to Torah, leading services, officiating life cycle events, and offering a loving and pastoral presence. Danielle is a trained spiritual director and served three years on the board of A Way In a national Jewish Mindfulness organization. She lives in Gwynedd Valley with her husband Scott and two children Henry (13) and Annabel (9). The Parmenter household recently adopted a lively silver lab named Champion. In her free time Danielle enjoys exercising, meditating, catching up with friends, studying Torah, listening to podcasts of Oprah’s super soul conversations and of course watching episodes of Parks and Recreation (hence the name Champion!).
Hazzan Arlyne Unger has more than 30 years of experience as a Cantor, B’nai Mitzvah instructor and Jewish Educator. She served in multiple capacities for many years at Beth Tikvah B’nai Jeshurun in Erdenheim, as well as for several years at Beth Am Shalom Reform Congregation in Lakewood, NJ, and at Tiferet Bet Israel in Blue Bell. She is a certified Hazzan Minister through the Cantors Assembly and has served as chairperson of the Cantors Assembly Delaware Valley Region and secretary of the Women Cantors Network. Arlyne’s husband, Ron, heads a small accounting firm in Jenkintown. Her son, Michael speaks fluent Spanish, tutors on-line students of various ages in Spanish, French and Hebrew, and works at Giant in Willow Grove. Daughter Rebecca works as a school psychologist through the Bucks County Intermediate Unit and serves in several area school districts. Her husband, Ryan, works with an organization providing resources for clients with special needs and supervises and coordinates in home service providers. They live nearby in Hatboro with the light of her life, her grandson Quinn. Becca and Ryan also provide a home for her two grand-dogs, a beautiful rough collie named Fiona, and a handsome samoyed/husky mix called Hunter. The Unger household menagerie boasts one rescue cat Heathie who looks like Puss-n-Boots, and they recently adopted a rescue mini golden doodle, named Biscuit. To unwind, Arlyne enjoys walking, playing guitar, watching travel shows on HGTV, reading and watching police and detective procedurals and thrillers, and of course, listening to music.
