Chani Getter
Assistant Rabbi

Chani is a leader in the fields of personal growth and spiritual development. She has reached individuals and professionals in the U.S. and Canada through a series of workshops and panel discussions. She has led informational and support groups in parenting, single-motherhood, domestic violence, cross cultural integration, issues of sexuality and identity. Chani coaches individuals and offers workshops in the areas of life-balance, parenting, self-acceptance, transition, spirituality and living your dreams. She creates original rituals for variety of occasions, as well as leads congregations in prayer.

Chani grew up in an ultra-orthodox-Hasidic Jewish home, and was married off at the age of 18 with barely a high school diploma. At the age of 23, with no professional training or support to fall back on, she left her arranged marriage with her three children. As a single, working parent, Chani put herself through college, obtaining a BA in Human Development from Empire State College. She also gained certification as a professional coach through The New York Open Center’s Coaching for Transformation program.

Chani’s personal growth combined with her depth of spirituality gives great power to her work as a coach and spiritual leader. Her loving, non-judgmental approach provides a safe place for all to connect with their authentic selves and deepest yearnings to find the clarity, inner peace and inspiration they desire.
