Assistant Rabbi Ilana Krygier Lapides

Home About Us Clergy and Staff Assistant Rabbi Ilana Krygier Lapides
Rabbi Ilana Krygier Lapides – is a born-and-raised Calgarian and a first-generation Canadian. As a child, she attended the Yiddish-centered I.L. Peretz School and moved on to the Talmud Torah (The Calgary Hebrew School) in her teens.  Ilana received a degree with specialization in English and Philosophy from the University of Alberta and a Diploma in Yiddish Instruction from Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv.

Rabbi Ilana has worked in the Calgary Jewish Community her whole adult life and has had the honour to serve many organizations including the Calgary Jewish Academy, the Calgary JCC, BBYO, Jewish Students’ Hillel, Temple B’nai Tikvah, and, most recently, as the Holocaust and Human Rights Educator for Calgary Jewish Federation.

Her volunteer work has included sitting on the executive of various Boards, including Camp BB Riback, the Calgary JCC, the BBYO Regional Parent Board, and serving lunches at the Calgary Drop-In Centre.

Rabbi Ilana received her Semicha with the Jewish Spiritual Leaders Institute (JSLI) out of New York in December 2020. Since then, she built an independent Rabbinic practice under the title ‘Rocky Mountain Rabbi’.  Rabbi Ilana acts as the Calgary Jewish Community Chaplain for Jewish Family Service Calgary, and is proud to be the new Assistant Rabbi at the Beth Tzedec Congregation.

Rabbi Ilana is passionate about Judaism and loves to teach about the beauty and majesty of our tradition. It has been her lifelong dream to be a spiritual leader and she is so grateful to be a part of the Beth Tzedec family.

Rabbi Ilana has three grown children and lives with her husband, David, and a very large dog. She loves to read, sing, tell bad jokes, and is attempting with more enthusiasm than success to master the baritone ukulele.
