Clergy & Inter-faith

In 1995, Michael Shevack was ordained a rabbi. Since then, he has been active in inter-religious dialogue between Christians, Jews, Muslims and many other religions in the U.S. and around the world. He served as Director of Communications at the Center for Christian-Jewish Understanding at Sacred Heart University, Bridgeport, CT. He currently serves on the board of the Association for Progressive Judaism, and the Center for Spirituality and Healthcare Education at SUNY (Stony Brook). He is a consultant to the Center for Inter-religious Understanding in Englewood New Jersey. Rabbi Shevack is founder of The Alliance for Enlightened Judaism (enlightenedjudaism.org). Because of his previous professional background (see below), Shevack has worked to help many religious groups and worthy non-profit organizations create their “brand” identity: Gateways (Orthodox Jewish), Communion & Liberation (Catholic), First Church of Religious Science and many others. He created new image and launch campaigns for AARP, United Religions Initiative, and The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Islamic group in the U.S.
