Rabbi Jessica Shimberg
Marriage Doula; Ritual Artist
Rabbi Jessica Shimberg loves helping people connect to the Divine Mystery we call by many names and also feel within our most open-hearted interactions. Before answering the still small voice that knew her calling, Jessica served as a mediator, attorney, facilitator of conflict transformation, and advocate for social and environmental justice. A Buckeye and midwesterner at heart, Jessica raised a family and founded a small congregation in Columbus, Ohio, which she served for two decades, before leaving to marry her beloved husband. She has served as the Spiritual Leader of the Glacier Jewish Community in Montana’s Flathead Valley, as well a a community leader in Nashville, Tennessee, Washington, D.C, and, now, St. Petersburg, Florida. She is thrilled to help couples from diverse backgrounds and multiple heritages and wisdom traditions weave the foundations of their marriage before, during, and long after their wedding day.

Rabbi Jessica officiated our beautiful wedding in May 2025. She took the time to meet with us 4 times to further our spiritual commitment, understand who we are, and walk us throug...
h the traditional aspects of the Jewish ceremony. She also assisted in planning for what post-wedding marriage would look like. She listened to our needs to understand what we wanted in the ceremony and what we did not. She also assisted in the development of our ketuba and the writing. On the wedding day she was professional and came prepared to talk about us in the ceremony. She assisted with the chuppah set up as well. Everything went beautifully and we cannot recommend Jessica enough!
