Lior Bar-Ami
Lior Bar-Ami is a Jewish writer and liturgical creator based in Europe. Ordained in 2016 at the Abraham Geiger College in Berlin, he previously served in rabbinic roles in France and Austria. He no longer works as a rabbi and does not identify as religious. His work has evolved toward a humanistic and spiritual expression of Jewish life, creating contemporary liturgy that centers shared humanity, ethical responsibility, memory, and solidarity. His texts seek to open reflective spaces across traditions — grounded in Jewish language and experience, yet not confined to religious doctrine.
