Donniel Hartman is a Jewish Israeli Modern Orthodox rabbi and educator. He is President of the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, Israel. He has written books and essays on Judaism and modernity and is a frequent speaker at academic conferences and synagogues[1] in the United States and Canada. In 2009, he spoke at the Grand Valley State University Conference, "Religion and the Challenges of Modernity."[2] In the 1990s, he was scholar in residence at the Jewish Community Center of the Palisades in New Jersey.[3] He was described by a Reform Judaism organization as a thinker "whose thoughts, observations, and analysis of Israeli society are radical and refreshing."[4]
Contents
Education
Hartman has a doctorate in Jewish philosophy from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a Master of Arts in political philosophy from New York University, and a Master of Arts in religion from Temple University.
Philosophy
Hartman has set up a program at the Shalom Hartman Institute that could lead to women being ordained as rabbis.[5]
He has argued for the need for Israelis to accept a two-state solution that recognizes Palestinian interests and to provide a "multiple narrative" for Israel that accepts non-Jewish Israelis.[6]
He has said that Israel and Diaspora Jewry must "rethink" their relationship.[7]
In 2007, the Hartman Institute, under Donniel Hartman's direction, set up a religious high school for girls, Midrashiya,[8] whose curriculum includes "a critical approach to the study of Jewish texts," volunteer work, and a sex-education curriculum, "one of the first ever among religious schools in Israel."[9]
