RABBI DARA FRIMMER

Senior Rabbi

Rabbi Dara Frimmer has served as Senior Rabbi of Temple Isaiah since July 2018, after more than a decade of growing alongside the Isaiah community. She is known for bringing heart, curiosity, and moral clarity to Jewish life—whether in the sanctuary, the classroom, or moments of real-life complexity.

Rabbi Frimmer holds a BA in Feminist Studies and Religious Studies from Stanford University and a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School. Before coming to Isaiah, she spent formative years in New York City, where she completed hospital chaplaincy training, taught Introduction to Judaism at the 92nd Street Y, led service-learning trips to Latin America with American Jewish World Service, and served as a rabbinic intern at Congregation Kol Ami in White Plains. She was also selected as a BJ Rabbinic Fellow at Congregation B’nai Jeshurun, where she taught, led services, and helped build Tze’irim, BJ’s community for Jews in their 20s and 30s.

Since joining Temple Isaiah in 2007—first as Assistant Rabbi and now as Senior Rabbi—Rabbi Frimmer has been deeply involved in every aspect of congregational life. Her work is especially rooted in social justice, Israel, religious education, and helping people find meaning, connection, and belonging across all stages of life.

Outside the synagogue, Rabbi Frimmer enjoys spending time with family and friends, reading widely, savoring a strong cup of coffee, and cooking meals meant to be shared. At her core, she believes that Judaism is lived not only through prayer and study, but through relationships—showing up for one another, asking hard questions, and building a community grounded in compassion, courage, and hope.

RABBI ZOE KLEIN MILES

Rabbi

Rabbi Zoë Klein Miles serves as the Director of Adult Education and Engagement at Temple Isaiah in Los Angeles, California, where she brings her unique blend of innovation, tradition, creativity, and wisdom. A Connecticut native, Rabbi Klein holds a degree in psychology from Brandeis University. She received a master’s degree in Hebrew literature and rabbinic ordination from Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion in New York and Jerusalem.

Zoe partners with colleagues and congregants in bringing meaningful relationship-building programs, experiences, and learning opportunities to Temple Isaiah. She supports the amazing work of many small communities within our Temple family including Small Groups, ChaiVillageLA, Isaiah Women, Torah study and bereavement.

Zoe’s most recent book is the collection of short stories Candle, Feather, Wooden Spoon (CCAR Press, 2023) about which Kirkus Reviews wrote, “Klein presents a collection of original Jewish parables for all ages, told in the tradition of rabbinic legends and folktales. … Lovely and entertaining folklore and parables that can proudly stand beside others in their tradition.” She is also the author of the novel Drawing in the Dust (Gallery Books, 2009), the children’s story The Goblins of Knottingham: A History of Challah (Apples & Honey, 2017), and The Scroll of Anatiya (Wipf and Stock, 2009). Rabbi Klein Miles’s writing is included in The Torah: A Women’s Commentary, Teen Texts, Holy Ground: A Gathering of Voices on Caring for Creation, The Sacred Exchange: Creating a Jewish Money Ethic, and more. Her poems and prayers are used in houses of prayer around the world.

RABBI JACLYN COHEN

Associate Rabbi

Rabbi Jaclyn Cohen joined the clergy team of Temple Isaiah in 2018 and today serves as its Associate Rabbi. Born and raised in West LA, Rabbi Cohen earned her BA in Religious Studies & Music from UC Davis. She spent two years working as a musician, community builder and educator in several Bay Area synagogues and Jewish organizations before entering Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion’s rabbinic program in Los Angeles. During rabbinical school Rabbi Cohen was fortunate to intern at several local congregations including Temple Israel of Hollywood and Kehillat Israel of the Pacific Palisades; additionally, she earned her MA in Jewish Education from the Rhea Hirsch School. Following her 2014 ordination Rabbi Cohen joined the clergy team of Temple De Hirsch Sinai in Seattle and Bellevue, Washington. 
 
As a musician, artist, and writer, Rabbi Cohen’s background is eclectic, creative, and representative of what it means to create a unique kind of 21st-century rabbinate. She trained and served as a cantorial soloist, led rock bands, published educational curricula, launched programs grounded in innovation and inclusion, participated in fellowships focused on interfaith engagement, and proudly collaborates on initiatives that keep synagogue life relevant and meaningful for this generation and those to come. Since 2019 Rabbi Cohen’s collection of joyful Purim and Passover parodies have earned hundreds of thousands of online views. 
 
Outside the synagogue she is a contributor to Kveller as well as the Jewish Daily Forward and Hey Alma. She is one third of the musical collaboration project Kosi R’vayah (Hebrew for “my cup overflows”) with composer Gabriel Mann and Cantor Tifani Coyot. She is a fierce advocate for birth justice, reproductive freedom, Epilepsy awareness and maternal & mental health. Rabbi Cohen is a certified yoga teacher and aspiring electric guitar soloist. She and her family live in Culver City.

CANTOR RANDALL SCHLOSS

Cantor

Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Cantor Randall Schloss is proud to join Temple Isaiah. Previously, Cantor Schloss served Temple Israel of New Rochelle, NY and Temple Ohabei Shalom in Brookline, MA. Throughout his cantorate, Cantor Schloss has sought to create an environment of engaging, participatory worship through a rich blend of musical traditions, including his own compositions. He is equally at ease chanting our most sacred and traditional High Holy Day melodies, conducting choirs at a soulful Gospel Shabbat, inspiring children in fun family worship, and leading diverse volunteer and professional musical ensembles in joyous and uplifting worship. 

After a varied career in music as a classical singer both on the opera stage and in concert, as a teacher of voice and music theory, and as a choral conductor and music director, Cantor Schloss began his journey into the world of Jewish music in 2000 as a singer and composer. His compositions combine traditional liturgy and modern poetry with musical elements of eastern European nusach and chazzanut, Israeli and Sephardic folk music, classical and twentieth century Reform repertoire and contemporary pop and jazz. He writes, “I hope that through a unique blend of styles, my music will engage the congregation as more than singers or listeners, but completely as a praying community.” In 2015 he was chosen for Forward’s Soundtrack of Our Spirit as one of the “best new voices in Jewish Music.” His settings of Elohai N’tsor and Y’varech’cha (B’nei Mitzvah Blessing) have been published by Transcontinental Music and he has been commissioned for three Choral pieces by the Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts.

Cantor Schloss received his Ordination and a Masters Degree in Sacred Music from the Debbie Friedman School of Sacred Music at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music from Cornell University and a Master of Music Degree in Vocal Performance from the New England Conservatory of Music. He has served on the Executive Board of the American Conference of Cantors and currently serves on the ACC Endowment Board of Trustees. In his spare time, he has been known to run the Boston and New York Marathons, to enjoy a round of golf and to hone his amateur barista skills. Most of all, Cantor Schloss enjoys sharing his love of Judaism and music with his wife, soprano Leah Schloss, and their two daughters, Maya and Sonya (also sopranos!).
