Brad Hirschfield has a history of stirring provocative thought. An acclaimed thinker, speaker, rabbi, and commentator on religion, society and pop culture, he offers a unique perspective on the American spiritual landscape and on political and social trends to audience nationwide.

A sought-out media analyst, he brings a fresh approach to the issues dividing our country and world. The only rabbi to be featured on “Nightline UpClose,” he is a frequent guest on Court TV, has appeared on ABC, CNN, PBS, MTV, and NPR, and was a regular on WWSB-TV (ABC affiliate) in Florida. Featured in PBS-TV’s “Frontline: Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero” and “Religion & Ethics Newsweekly,” he can often be heard on Westwood One and Air America radio networks, and is frequently quoted by the press.

 

Hirschfield is the Co-President of CLAL–The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, a leadership training institute, think tank and resource center. Recognized as one of the nation’s leading Preachers and Teachers by Beliefnet.com, the Web’s most popular religion website, he conceived and is featured in a landmark 18-part interfaith series entitled Building Bridges: Abrahamic Perspectives on the World Today, airing on Bridges Television (American Muslim TV) in 2006-2007. The series, reaching more than 2 million viewers, addresses the divisiveness amongst the traditions.

A speaker at the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music and Colloquium in Morocco and the 2004 Parliament of the World’s Religions in Barcelona, he was featured in the acclaimed film, Freaks Like Me, where he explores our fear of the “other.” He is presently co-producing a film on religious fanaticism in America entitled The Fierce Believers.

Hirschfield has addressed audiences at the Aspen Institute, the Washington National Cathedral, the Islamic Society of North America, and at many leading universities and religious institutes. Author of the forthcoming book, You Don’t Have To Be Wrong For Me To Be Right: Finding Faith Without Fanaticism (Harmony, Sept. 2007), he conceived and is the editor of Remembering for Life (CLAL, 2006), a new book on the challenge of Holocaust memory in the 21st century, and is the co-author of Embracing Life & Facing Death: A Jewish Guide to Palliative Care (CLAL, 2003).
