Few figures in Jewish life today have contributed to the community in as many capacities as Sid Schwarz: social entrepreneur, activist, organizational leader, author, congregational rabbi and public intellectual. Rabbi Yitz Greenberg, founder of CLAL and one of American Jewry’s most notable leaders, has written about Sid: “Rabbi Sid Schwarz’ life and career embody a unique mix of religious vision and an ability to implement that vision in the real world”.
A winner of the prestigious Covenant Award for singular achievement in the field of Jewish education, Sid was also tapped by Newsweek magazine as one of the 50 most influential rabbis in America. Sid is available for scholar-in-residence weekends, consulting services and as a trainer/facilitator for professionals and/or lay leaders.
Rabbi Steve Cohen of Congregation B’nai B’rith in Santa Barbara, CA said of a recent visit: “Sid’s three presentations during his scholar-in-residence weekend with us were each deeply thought-provoking, wellcrafted,
and engaging. He has a wealth of information at his fingertips, marvelous anecdotes, passionate commitments,
and a sparkling sense of humor. He had everyone on the edge of their seats!”
