Adir Yolkut
Rabbi
A Teacher, Coach, Community Builder, and Storyteller, Rabbi Adir Yolkut has served as a Jewish educator and congregational rabbi for the past fifteen years. In that time, he has developed curricula, taught classes, and led service trips across continents that fuse the ancient traditions of Judaism with 21st century spiritual life. Serving in both the congregational and educational realms, Rabbi Adir brings a fresh and authentic take on what it means to live as a spirit-seeker in today's world. As a weaver of modern ritual, he believes in the multivocal nature of the Jewish tradition and uses texts, music, movement, and meditation to craft personally curated lifecycle events, educational experiences, and consulting ventures. Adir received rabbinic ordination from the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, where he also received a masters degree in Talmud and Rabbinics. He holds an AltMBA certification and is a certified CrossFit Coach. He strongly believes in the mind-body connection and masterfully melds the worlds of physical and spiritual wellness in his teaching, coaching, and consulting. When he's not Rabbi-ing, Adir loves hanging out with his wife Lauren, son Cal, and dog Louie. In his spare time, he is a pop culture fanatic, huge St. Louis sports fan, and likes to make his own cold brew!
