Rabbi Natasha Mann joined New London Synagogue by herself as a teenager. She was born in Hertfordshire to a lively interreligious and intercultural family. Rabbi Natasha fell in love with Jewish practice and ideas in her youth, at which point she joined New London Synagogue and studied with Rabbi Jeremy Gordon.
After achieving her first class honours degree in Theology from Heythrop College, University of London, Rabbi Natasha moved from London to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem, she studied in the Conservative Yeshiva, and began to work in the non-profit world with Atzum – Justice Works, where she promoted better education and legislation on human trafficking issues.
Rabbi Natasha then moved to Los Angeles to study at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, American Jewish University. During her time in California, she worked at several West Coast synagogues (including rabbinic internships at Herzl-Ner Tamid Conservative Congregation on Mercer Island, and Temple Beth Abraham in Oakland), and worked as the Mashgiḥah (kashrut supervisor) at the American Jewish University. Rabbi Natasha is also now expanding her halakhic education by studying with the European Masorti Beit Din toward becoming a M’saderet Gittin (a halakhic expert able to lead in cases of divorce).
Rabbi Natasha was ordained at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in 2019, and was honoured to be presented for ordination by Rabbi Jeremy. Rabbi Natasha also received a Masters in Rabbinic Studies, a Certificate in Jewish Education, and the Henry Fisher Award for Outstanding Achievement in Jewish Studies.
Rabbi Natasha also holds a certificate in the Introduction to Modern Slavery from Unseen UK. As of September 2025, she is working toward her PhD in the University of Manchester. Her project title is: The Impact of the Prophetic Harlotry Metaphor on Second Temple Sources and Rabbinic Law.
