Rabbi Etan Mintz is an American rabbi, activist, writer, and the spiritual leader of the historic B'nai Israel Synagogue (Baltimore) of Baltimore.[1] Rabbi Mintz is leading the revitalization of the oldest continually active synagogue in Maryland and one of the oldest standing synagogues in America. Mintz is an active proponent of Jewish inclusivity.[2] He is a nationally sought speaker, writer, and educator.[3] In response to the 2015 Baltimore protests after the shooting of Freddie Gray, Rabbi Mintz led a multiracial, interfaith group of clergy to increase community cooperation in Baltimore. Rabbi Mintz has advocated for strengthening racial relations and has advocated for a more welcoming and inclusive vision of Modern Orthodox Judaism.[4][2][5][6][7]
Rabbi Mintz has led spiritual disaster response teams in the aftermaths of crisis situations, as well as efforts countering anti-semitism, and preserving Holocaust memory.
Rabbi Mintz received his rabbinical ordination from the Rabbi Isaac Elchanon Rabbinical School at Yeshiva University. He also holds an M.P.A. degree from the Kennedy School at Harvard University and a master's degree in Jewish Philosophy and Mysticism from the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies.
