Rabbi Seth H. Frisch, a Conservative Rabbi, was ordained at The Jewish Theological Seminary of America in 1986 after having
served for two years as Academic Assistant to the Dean of The Rabbinical School. The Jewish Theological Seminary is the
central seminary of The Conservative Movement worldwide.
As rabbi and spiritual leader, he has served congregations in both Maine and New York and until recently as Dean of The
Rabbinical School at The Academy For Jewish Religion in New York City. He continues to serve both as Rabbinic Fellow as
well as a member of The Clerical Advisory Board of The Interfaith Center of New York. The Interfaith Center is an
institution charged with the responsibility of bringing together ethnic and religious communities for the purpose of
dialogue and understanding.
Rabbi Frisch received his appointment as Rabbi in Residence at Moravian College School of Theology in Bethlehem,
Pennsylvannia and has assumed teaching responsibilities in the Department of Hebrew Bible. In July, he was appointed as
the first Jewish Chaplain in the history of the college.
Rabbi Frisch's father, Dr. Morton J. Frisch is a Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Northern Illinois
