The Reform Movement is blessed with a significant number of Reform rabbis whose primary careers are in academia, both at secular institutions of higher learning and HUC-JIR. Some colleagues have part-time positions at these institutions while other colleagues pursue academic interests without formal association with a college or university. Such individuals enrich the Reform Movement by combining an up-to-date understanding of contemporary scholarship and intellectual trends to a close and deep knowledge of Reform Judaism. Here is a list of these academic rabbis with brief bios, contact information, and potential lecture topics.

Women of Reform Judaism, an affiliate of the Union for Reform Judaism and the collective voice and presence of women in congregational life, would like to offer all CCAR members a complimentary copy of our 94th Annual Pocket Art Calendar. The 2008/09 calendars feature the expressive work of award-winning fine art and portrait photographer and artist Jeane Vogel, who strives to see past the concrete in order to extract the fundamental nature of the moment – and hopes to mend at least one small tear in the world.
The annual Art Calendar lists all weekly Torah and Haftarah portions, all Jewish holidays, and American and Canadian legal holidays. It spans 13 months, provides space for appointments and notes, future engagements and telephone numbers, and includes a valuable section of month-at-a-glance mini-calendars. For your copy, please send your name and address to wrj@urj.org.
