Dan Slipakoff, of Philadelphia, PA, is thrilled to begin his rabbinic studies at Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion. Dan has a Master’s in Social Work from Temple University and has spent the last year interning with POWER, an interfaith community organizing group focused on making Philadelphia a city of equal opportunity for all residents. He has also spent time working with the Interfaith Center of Greater Philadelphia and Tribe 12, an engagement group for local Jews in their 20s and 30s. Dan is looking forward to the T’ruah Fellowship with an open mind as an opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue and for a chance to experience as much of Israel as possible.
