Originally from Los Angeles, Rabbi Daniel Korobkin received his rabbinic ordination from Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore, where he studied Jewish law, ethics and philosophy. He received his Master of Arts degree in medieval Jewish and Islamic thought from UCLA’s Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures and his Master of Science degree from the Johns Hopkins University School for Engineering at the Applied Physics Laboratory.
Rabbi Korobkin is an esteemed scholar, who has written on The Kuzari, among other things. He is the immediate past president of the Rabbinical Council of America( RCA), and has been the Mara D’Asra (Sr Rabbi) of Toronto’s Beth Avraham Yosef ( the Bayit) since 2011.
From St. Louis, Rabbi John Moscowitz studied at the Claremont Colleges, the Hebrew Union College and UCLA. A different kind of formative schooling came in his early twenties when he worked in close quarters with Tom Hayden, then a singular leader of the American Left. Rabbi Moscowitz has written in his 2015 book, “Evolution of an Unorthodox Rabbi” that, as a result of the Jerusalem and Tel Aviv bus bombings of the Nineties, he morphed, mostly unexpectedly, from a fairly typical Reform Rabbi to something different. Shaken, Rabbi Moscowitz began to read— and think—differently. He has been at Holy Blossom Temple, Toronto, since 1987, serving as the congregation’s Sr. Rabbi from 2000-2014, and its rabbi emeritus since. He’s writing a memoir, (which he promises to finish this year!)
