David created Romemu out of nothing. In less than 10 years, Romemu has become a fast-growing community of committed seekers drawing across faith traditions. The prayer services are incredibly moving, the learning opportunities are very strong, and neo-Hasidic joy permeates much of what we do. Best of all is the growing sense of community with people who feel a true spiritual home in a place that really wants each person just to be their authentic self. David made this.
