Beth Tikvah Presents Speaker on American Jewish Identity

Rabbi Michael Swarttz will present a talk on the evolving nature of American Jewish identity at the next Shmear and Shmooze and Beth Tikvah Synagogue, 45 Oak St. Westborough from 10 - 11:30 AM.

How is the notion of “Jewish Identity” changing in today’s rapidly changing world?  Are there differences in the way that today’s adults view their individual and Jewish identities as opposed to today’s younger generation.  Come to our Shmear and Shmooze to hear the answers to these and many more questions regarding American Jewish identity today.

In addition to being the Rabbi of Beth Tikvah Synagogue, Rabbi Swarttz is the Jewish Chaplain at the Phillips Academy in Andover and the Coordinator of the Harold Cotton Leadership Institute of the Jewish Federation of Central Massachusetts.  He was ordained by the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.  He lives with his wife, also a Rabbi, and their two sons in Newton.
