Rabbi Seinfeld

Rabbi Alexander Seinfeld graduated from Stanford University with degrees in Classics and Anthropology. Having exploring numerous traditions, he began his return toward a Jewish path after living in rural Mississippi, “surrounded by folks who knew my people's book better than I did!” He eventually journeyed to Israel, where he studied for seven years and was ordained. After three years in Northern California, he recently relocated to the East Coast with his wife and children and founded Jewish Spiritual Literacy, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to revitalizing Jewish education. Rabbi Seinfeld is author of the popular Penguin paperback, The Art of Amazement: Judaism’s Forgotten Spirituality and engages audiences from all Jewish backgrounds with his humor and depth of insight into spiritual and philosophical topics.
