Rabbi John Moscowitz, Senior Rabbi

John Moscowitz, Senior Rabbi at Holy Blossom Temple, was ordained at the Hebrew Union College in 1982. Subsequent to ordination, he studied History in graduate school at the University of California, Los Angeles. Rabbi Moscowitz moved to Toronto in 1987, and served as Associate Rabbi at Holy Blossom until June 2000 when he became the Senior Rabbi.

In the year 2000, Rabbi Moscowitz challenged Holy Blossom Temple to look toward its future, and renew itself spiritually, physically and more. The current renewal project of the congregation, therefore, will plan Holy Blossom Temple’s future not simply in terms of physical space, but more importantly with regard to what a liberal congregation must strive for in the 21^st century.

Rabbi Moscowitz's main areas of intellectual interest include Rabbinics and the Dilemmas of Jewish Modernity. As well, he is a Senior Rabbinic Fellow at Shalom Hartman Institute, Jerusalem, Israel.
