Rabbi Dan Medwin was recently ordained from Hebrew Union College (’10) and has also earned a Masters in Jewish Education.  Dan began his undergraduate career at Brandeis University (’01) as a Computer Science major and spent his time working at the computer help desk.  Finding himself doing more counseling over deleted papers than technical help, Dan switched to a double major in Judaic Studies and Sociology.  Nevertheless, computers and technology have remained an active passion in his life.  In addition to designing websites and creating interactive online learning modules, Dan has also developed a unique style of worship called Visual T’filah which utilizes art and imagery to enhance prayer and deepen connections to liturgy.  (For more information, see www.visualtfilah.com.)  Dan was recently hired by the CCAR to further develop Visual T’filah and to offer his technical expertise to the Reform Movement.

Dan is married to his HUC classmate and life-journeyer, Rabbi Lydia Bloom Medwin, and they are the proud parents of daughter, Zimra. Dan enjoys sharing the title “Rabbi Medwin” with his wife, as well as, with his mother.
