Rabbi Dr. Barry R. Friedman has taught about Judaism and the Jewish experience — in both classrooms and congregational settings — for more than thirty years.

Before moving to Chicago in 2016, he served at Temple Adath B'nai Israel in Evansville, IN, and taught in the Department of Religion and Philosophy at the University of Evansville.

In addition to teaching in the Spertus Master of Arts in Jewish Professional Studies program, he is an adjunct member of the faculty at Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis.
