Our Rabbi — Leonard A. Schoolman
Rabbi Schoolman is the director of The Center for Religious Inquiry, a unique inter-religious adult education
program at St. Bart's. The Center
is based on the premise that there are
few opportunities for religious seekers who can study their own and other
religious traditions in a safe and non-judgmental
environment.
Rabbi Schoolman serves on the
board of the Terezin
Chamber Music Foundation, and on the board of the Stimulus Foundation, publishers of Stimulus Books. He is also
the president of the New York Chapter of the American Composers
Forum. Rabbi
Schoolman was the national director of programs for the Union for Reform
Judaism for 18
years. He served as Rabbi to congregations in Los Angeles, Miami and St.
Paul, Minnesota. He was the administrative editor of The Torah: A Modern
Commentary, published
by the Union for
Reform Judaism. He is also the author of numerous books and
articles.
Rabbi Schoolman received his rabbinical education at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute
of Religion in
Cincinnati. He earned a Bachelor of Hebrew
Letters degree and a Master of Arts in Hebrew Letters there, and a Doctor of
Divinity degree was conferred on him in 1988. Before that, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree
from Clark
University in
Worcester, Massachusetts.
