Rabbi Brad Hirschfield Named Scholar-in-Residence by JCCA
The Jewish Community Centers
Association of North America (JCCA), serving millions through its network of
Jewish community centers, YM-YWHA’s, and camp sites, has named CLAL’s
President Rabbi Brad Hirschfield as its national Scholar-in-Residence for
the next two years. The honor, beginning in the fall of 2007, recognizes
Rabbi Hirschfield’s unique abilities as a teacher, thinker and lecturer on
contemporary Jewish life. Teaching JCCA board members, and speaking both in
America and in Israel, he will offer a fresh perspective on issues touching
the widest range of Jews connected to any national institution.
“When selecting a Scholar-in-Residence, we bring someone who has the
potential to speak to the heart and head of our senior leadership,” said
Rabbi Alvin Mars, Director of the Mandel Center for Jewish Leadership, at
the JCCA.
Rabbi Hirschfield, a respected expert on leadership development and
interfaith issues, will teach in a variety of settings, including board
meetings and leadership retreats. He replaces Dr. Deborah Lipstadt, the
noted academic and author, as the JCCA’s Scholar-in-Residence. Previous
scholars include CLAL Senior Associates Rabbis Joseph Telushkin and Reuven
Kimmelman.
