Ushpizin with Rabbi Grushcow

Join us this Wednesday to hear from Rabbi Grushcow of Temple Emanuel Beth
Sholom. Rabbi Lisa Grushcow received her BA from McGill University in 1996.
She was then named a Rhodes Scholar and spent three years at Oxford
University, where she earned a master’s degree in Judaism and Christianity in
the Greco-Roman World, and then a doctorate. She was ordained a rabbi in 2003
at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York City,
where she studied as a Wexner Graduate Fellow.
Upon graduation, Rabbi Grushcow joined Congregation Rodeph Sholom in New York
City, where she served as associate rabbi. She held this position until July
1, 2012, when she assumed the role of senior rabbi at Temple Emanu-El-Beth
Sholom in Montreal. Rabbi Grushcow is the author of Writing the Wayward Wife,
and the editor of The Sacred Encounter: Jewish Perspectives on Sexuality. She
is also a contributor to The Torah: A Women’s Commentary, The Mussar Torah
Commentary, and other publications in print and online.
Beginning with the Jewish-Christian-Muslim conference in Bendorf, Germany,
Rabbi Grushcow has a long history of interfaith bridge-building. As a Hartman
Senior Rabbinic Fellow and past president of the Montreal Board of Rabbis, she
is also actively engaged in Jewish pluralism and intradenominational dialogue.
In 2015, The Jewish Daily Forward nominated Rabbi Grushcow as one of the 33
America’s Most Inspiring Rabbis.
