Adam Grossman: The Unconventional Rabbi
By Tori Rubloff
Rabbi Adam Grossman has been the religious leader and CEO at University of Florida Hillel since 2013. However, he is not your typical rabbi. He did not grow up connected to Judaism, and he rode out his teens and twenties recklessly. In 2008, he entered rabbinical school at the Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem and was ordained as a rabbi. Ever since, Grossman has differed from traditional rabbis through his unique perspectives. “Less and less people are connecting meaningfully to Jewish organizations…. The biggest thing I bring to the table is my ability to provide a different framework to effect change and maximize engagement,” he said.
