Rabbi Matt Rosenberg is not your typical rabbi—he’s an independent Sacramento-based spiritual leader, educator, and consultant who brings deep wisdom, warmth, and real-world experience to everything he does. Whether officiating at Jewish weddings and funerals, providing compassionate counseling, leading vibrant community rituals, or advising organizations through crisis and transition, Rabbi Matt is dedicated to strengthening individuals and communities alike.

A California native with a lifelong passion for service, Rabbi Matt earned his undergraduate degree in geography from UC Davis and a master’s in geography from CSU Northridge. He has authored two books on geography and currently teaches as an adjunct faculty member at Sacramento State University and Cosumnes River College.

Beyond the classroom and the bimah, Rabbi Matt has spent years on the front lines of disaster relief, running emergency services for the American Red Cross and working with Nechama: Jewish Response to Disaster. His experience navigating crisis has made him a sought-after consultant for nonprofits and faith-based organizations facing major transitions.

Previously, he transformed Hillel at Texas A&M into a nationally recognized center of Jewish life as its executive director and campus rabbi. Most recently, he led Sacramento’s Albert Einstein Residence Center, overseeing its sale and helping channel $20 million into urgent community needs.
