  • Rabbi Scott Shafrin

    Rabbi Scott Shafrin
    May 4 2026
    Rabbi Scott Schaffrin didn’t set out to become a rabbi. Growing up in Milwaukee, he was drawn to music and thought his future might be at a piano, not a pulpit. But over time—through college, community organizing work, and a formative summer back home—his path shifted. What started as an interest in helping people eventually became a calling. Now, after stops in Boston, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and St. Louis, Schaffrin has landed in Cincinnati as the senior rabbi at Adath Israel Synagogue. Along the way, he’s built a career shaped as much by relationship-building and organizing as by traditional rabbinic work. A lot has changed since he started, but his approach has remained fairly consistent. Whether he’s leading services, teaching, or working across communities, the focus is on connection—on helping people find meaning with each other, even when they don’t always agree. We sat down with Rabbi Schaffrin to talk about his journey to the rabbinate, the role music plays in his life and work, and why he sees Judaism less as a unison and more as a harmony.

    Elise Cole had always wanted to be a writer and was drawn to performance, but never planned on being a stand-up comedian. In her early 30s, while attending grad school, a chance encounter with the founder of Brave New Theater started her on the path. After getting on stage for the first time, she was hooked. Now, over a decade later, the Twin Cities-based stand-up is heading to Cincinnati, featuring for fellow stand-up comic Tabari McCoy at Go Bananas Comedy club. It’s her first time in the Queen City, but not her first time touring different cities. Since she started in comedy, a lot has changed, but Cole’s approach hasn’t. She still leans on her storytelling roots, even as performing has become more complicated, especially as an Iranian Jew in the aftermath of Oct. 7 and the current U.S.-Israel-Iran war.
