Autorenporträt

Rabbi Roy Furman is a native of New York, educated at Queens College, and ordained by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in 1971. His writing and thinking as a rabbi and as a Jew have been influenced by his work with havurot (Jewish fellowship groups), minyanim (prayer groups), and Jewish congregations in Los Angeles, Portland, OR, Chicago, and Evanston, IL; by his Hillel work at the University of Southern California and DePaul University; by his graduate work in the history of religions, ancient Judaism, and early Christianity; by his twenty years of teaching comparative religion and Jewish Studies courses at DePaul; by his training and practice as a clinical social worker; and by his numerous stays in Israel: traveling, working, studying, and doing archaeological work over the course of his adult life. He now lives in Chicago with his wife, Dr. Frida Kerner Furman, a retired DePaul professor of social ethics and religious studies. His daughter, Daniella, is a neuroscientist living in Berkeley, CA with her wife, Yula, and their absolutely adorable child, Ilani.
