Rabbi Adam Greenwald
Rabbi Greenwald — or R’Adam, as I call him — is, in fact, completely rad. I got to know him as a student in his “Intro to Judaism” program, and he has become an invaluable mentor. He has the ability to teach a diverse roomful of students (ranging from “What’s a Jew?” to “My dad is the rebbe”) something new and relevant about Judaism day after day, week after week. His support and genuine care for his students is a huge reason why my own path led to conversion. His new project, Two Faiths/One Family, reaches out to interfaith couples, allowing them to talk openly and — more importantly — to be heard. I’m heartened to see someone who understands that non-Jews in relationships with Jews often feel alienated by the Jewish community, and that reaching them with love and dignity will strengthen Jewish continuity. My beit din and mikveh were recently, and I cannot imagine a better marching partner on this journey than R’Adam.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
