Rabbi Irving “Yitz” Greenberg

For decades, Rabbi Irving “Yitz” Greenberg has been a seminal voice in the Jewish community. Whether it has been his activism on behalf of Soviet Jewry; the cultivation of Jewish leadership through The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership (Clal); his pioneering work in the creation with others of Taglit-Birthright Israel; his work in interfaith understanding or through his efforts with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Rabbi Greenberg believes that the Torah and Jewish tradition have relevance on personal, communal and even universal levels. Following more than a decade of writing, he is now completing a major work of theology that describes the meaning of being a covenanted people in this day and age.
