Greg Hersh, Rabbinic Intern
Greg earned BA's in Philosophy and Religion from George Washington University. After college, setting out to further bridge the gaps between Eastern and Western thought, Greg traveled to Southeast Asia where he taught English, lived in a Buddhist monastery, backpacked around, and explored the philosophies of the East.
The following year was spent in Jerusalem learning Hebrew and applying to the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, where he currently studies. Greg was also a participant in Tom Brown's Tracker School, which filled him with useful survival information, a deeper understanding of Native American philosophy, and an intractable love of the wilderness. Greg hopes to integrate his passions of Eastern philosophy, the bliss of nature and Jewish tradition/wisdom into his life-path.
