Join us for our morning Shabbat service on Saturday, February 8th, as we welcome Rabbi Joshua D. Garroway, Ph.D., to give the d’var torah
Rabbi Joshua D. Garroway, Ph.D., is the Sol and Arlene Bronstein Professor of Judaeo-Christian Studies and Professor of Early Christianity and Second Commonwealth at HUC-JIR’s Skirball Campus in Los Angeles. He was ordained at the Cincinnati campus of HUC-JIR in 2003, and then earned his doctorate degree from the Religious Studies Department at Yale University in 2008. His first book, Paul’s Gentile-Jews: Neither Jew nor Gentile, but Both (2012), explores the ways in which Paul’s epistle to the Romans constructs Jewish identity, and the role played by this construction in the ensuing emergence of Christianity. His second book, The Beginning of the Gospel: Paul, Philippi, and the Origins of Christianity (2018), offers a revisionist understanding of the origins of the Greek term euaggelion, usually translated “gospel,” in earliest Christianity. His rabbinate is dedicated to instilling in aspiring Jewish professionals an appreciation for Jewish history, texts, and ideas. Garroway grew up in Rochester, NY, but for more than a decade has lived in Pasadena, CA, with his wife, Kristine Henriksen Garroway, and their three kids.

Underwriting opportunities are available. Please contact Galit Livne, Program & Engagement Coordinator, for more information.
