RABBI BRADD H. BOXMAN - e-mail
Rabbi Bradd Boxman began his rabbinate at Har Sinai Congregation, as its 15th senior rabbi, in July of 2003.
Ordained at Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1986, Rabbi Boxman served as Rabbi for the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation in Indianapolis, IN; the Hebrew Congregation of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and at the United Jewish Center (UJC) in Danbury, CT.
In addition to his rabbinic service, Rabbi Boxman served as adjunct professor of Jewish History at Western Connecticut State University and as chaplain to a variety of groups, including hospitals and the armed forces. He has been an active member of the communities in which he has served, especially in interfaith activities, and has published several articles in The American Rabbi.
Rabbi Boxman is committed to five particular areas of his rabbinate: 1) to be in touch with the needs and desires of his congregation; 2) to function as a teacher and exemplar of Torah; 3) to devote a significant amount of time to issues of social justice; 4) to communicate effectively with his congregation by speaking honestly and passionately about issues of Jewish and social concern; and 5) above all else, to serve as a mensch: a role model of ethical behavior, moral integrity and compassionate loving kindness.
Rabbi Bradd H. Boxman was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. He earned a Bachelor of Art in Modern Languages at Villanova University, and minored in Christian Studies. He entered Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion in Jerusalem and completed his rabbinical studies in Cincinnati while teaching at Wise Temple and Yavneh Day School. Rabbi Boxman’s student rabbi experience included two years at Temple Beth Shalom in Winter Haven, FL and he served as a civilian chaplain at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH.
Residents of Reisterstown, Rabbi Boxman and wife, Linda, have three daughters, Ariel, Talia, and Ashira.
