About Rabbi Daniel Swartz

Rabbi Daniel Swartz is the spiritual leader of Temple Hesed of Scranton and the executive director of the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life.  He and his spouse, Rabbi Marjorie Berman, were recently part of the launch of the Women Faith & Climate Network, where the delegates closed the conference chanting Esther 4:14 (“umi yode’a im la’et kazot higat lemalkut/who knows — perhaps it is for just such a time as this you have attained Malkhut.”) to a melody composed by Rabbi Swartz.
 

About Evolve
Evolve: Groundbreaking Jewish Conversations is an initiative of Reconstructing Judaism. We seek to promote the ongoing evolution of the Jewish community by launching collective, communal conversations about the urgent issues of our day. To that end, Evolve brings multiple voices together to listen to one another’s point of view and to interact respectfully. In an era when it has become ever more difficult to remain open to viewpoints that differ from our own, Evolve cultivates covenantal conversations even when we disagree. In this way, we hope to enhance the ongoing evolution of Jewish civilization.

Evolve does not endorse every viewpoint presented on its platform. Its goal is to cultivate groundbreaking, constructive, respectful conversations about urgent issues of concern. Evolve makes space for a wide range of viewpoints and seeks to support constructive debate while abiding by the values of tzelem Elohim (regarding and treating all people as created in the divine image), kavod (respect), redifat shalom (pursuing peace) and makhloket leshem shamayim (disagreements for the sake of heaven).
