Menachem has a special commitment to queer people, polyamorous people, sex-workers, and the kink/fetish community.

He works with people of all faiths and no faith. Many are spiritual but not religious.

Menachem has played TTRPGs for 42+ years. He earned a Graduate Certificate in Spiritual Direction from Loyola University and received rabbinic ordination at Hebrew Seminary.
