Hi, I’m Allison Goldman Blustin, and I’m exploring what it means to be a modern Rebbetzin in today’s progressive Jewish world.

To me, being a Rebbetzin means holding space—for spiritual reflection, honest conversation, and embodied connection to ourselves, each other, and the earth. I’m a Jewish educator, premarital counselor, and relationship coach working with individuals, couples, and communities to bring more holiness, meaning, and rootedness into everyday life. My work weaves together Jewish ritual, relationship tools, and sacred conversation.

I’m trained as a Gottman-informed relationship coach, a Prepare/Enrich facilitator, and a spiritual advisor through Beit T’Shuvah. I’m a member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counsellors and Therapists (AASECT) and am currently studying at the Institute for Sexuality Education and Enlightenment (ISEE), deepening my knowledge of human sexuality through psychology, anatomy, and spiritual integration.

My approach blends ancient Jewish wisdom with contemporary relationship science. I draw from my experience as a mikveh guide, Torah teacher, and circle facilitator—as well as from my own life as a seeker and spiritual partner—helping people reconnect with the emotional and spiritual wisdom already alive in their bodies and relationships.

Although I no longer live in Los Angeles, I still carry IKAR in my bones. My six years in that community shaped how I approach Torah, justice, ritual, and leadership. Now, married to a Conservative rabbi, I spend much of my time in the Conservative world—but I feel at home across the spectrum, from Reform to Renewal, and even in Traditional and Modern Orthodox spaces. That pluralism is a core value I bring to my work.

Kedusha Connections is the space I’ve created for all of this to live.
It’s a home for people seeking something deeper—ritual that’s real, tradition that’s alive, and connection that feels holy.
