Prominent British modern Orthodox rabbi to take American campus role

His books include A Brief Guide to Judaism and, together with Rabbi Jonathan Romain, a compilation of their JC columns, Rabbi, I Have A Problem.

“The future of America is being shaped on university campuses," Rabbi Brawer observed. "I cannot think of a more exciting place to be.”

Ted Tye, who headed the search committee for the post, said Rabbi Brawer stood out among 90 candidates, impressing with “his easy manner, leadership, depth of thought, and nuanced understanding of the ways in which Tufts Hillel can play a critical role in the discussion of important issues occurring across our campuses”.

Mrs Brawer is in her final year as a long-distance student of the Orthodox women’s ordination programme at Yeshivat Maharat in New York.
