Our brilliant mind this week is Rabbi Jack Moline. Though his journey to Alexandria runs through Chicago, Los Angeles, Jerusalem, and New York City, Jack shares how the great privilege of serving a single community for a long time allowed him to become deeply involved in the lives of his flock: the happy moments, the challenging moments, and everything in between. He shares how it's the people that have been willing to engage in dialogue--people never heard of, from all walks of faith or none at all, those with whom he disagreed--who have most influenced and deepened his commitment to interfaith conversation.

Now retired, Jack Moline served as the Rabbi of Agudas Achim Congregation in Alexandria for thirty years and is the former president of the Interfaith Alliance. He and Westminster Pastor Larry Hayward have led several Interfaith Trips to Israel together.
