Rabbi Adam Mintz
Adam Mintz, a Modern Orthodox rabbi in New York City, believes that the greatest challenge facing twenty-first century Jewry is the creation of educated Jews who understand that the key to the Jewish future is the appreciation of the Jewish past. Toward this goal, Rabbi Mintz teaches Jewish history, law and thought in a variety of venues. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Jewish History at City College, New York and a member of the Talmud faculty at Yeshivat Maharat. Rabbi Mintz's lectures and articles can be found at www.rabbimintz.com.
