Rabbi David Kominsky lives in Portland, Oregon and works with couples, families and individuals in the local community. As a community rabbi he works with unaffiliated Jews to create meaningful lifecycle rituals (e.g., weddings or baby namings) that are Jewishly authentic and tailored to the individuals involved. His goal at any lifecycle event is that those present will feel that the wedding (for instance) could not have been for any couple other than the one married that day.

David also works with organizations to help them integrate an awareness of spirituality into their everyday functioning. This could mean working with employees to think about how their work makes a difference in the world, or a complete investigation of the organizational culture to help the organization become one which acts with its soul as well as its head.

During the 2007 - 2008 year Rabbi David was at Temple Beth Sholom in Salem as Interim rabbi. He is served the spiritual and educational needs of this vibrant community.

In Portland, Rabbi David is involved in with both the wider community as well as the Jewish community. He is a member of the City Club of Portland and has been a blogger on the City Club website. He is also a member of the Oregon Board of Rabbis (OBR) and teaches in the Introduction to Judaism course offered by the OBR.

David Kominsky graduated from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Wyncote, PA. While in rabbinical school, David Kominsky served as student rabbi of Congregation Beth Abraham in Bridgeton, New Jersey. He was also the President of the Reconstructionist Student Association, as well as the student representative to the Admissions Committee of Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. He was a charter member of the college's Spiritual Life Committee.

Before going to rabbinical school, David was a market researcher in Portland, Oregon.

He is a graduate of Reed College, with a Bachelor's Degree in Classics. While some say this proves he is good at languages, he says it is a demonstration of having spent too many years poring over texts in languages that are no longer spoken.
