Mark Zimmerman’s Summary
For over 20 years I have worked as a congregational rabbi, educator and perpetual volunteer in the Atlanta Jewish and general community.
Besides synagogue work, I have enjoyed dabbling in other pursuits, including the development of a new website, SiddurAudio.com, which helps people master the Hebrew siddur (synagogue liturgy) as well as learn the home rituals for Shabbat and the Jewish holidays.
Building on my computer science background, years back I developed a software application called “HaMazkir” to assist congregational rabbis in keeping track of life-cycle events, hospital visits, counseling notes, etc.
Then just to round things out, I like to play keyboards and sing lead vocals for an Atlanta musical group called “Paz”, which performs modern Israeli rock and Jewish folk music.
Some of my other roles have included:
- Rabbinical Assembly - Past President Southeast Region
- Chaplain in the Atlanta Police Dept
- Atlanta Rabbinical Association - Past President
- Hospice Medical Ethics Committee
- Guest Lecturer
- Musical Performer / Vocalist
