Temple Israel Clergy
Rabbi Wendy Love Anderson loves teaching, writing, and building Jewish communities. She holds a B.A. from Williams College, a Ph.D in History of Christianity from the University of Chicago, and an M.A. in Jewish Studies from the Academy for Jewish Religion, where she also received her rabbinic ordination.
Her academic interests include Jewish-Christian relations, childhood and religion, and making Jewish history more engaging than the way she originally learned it. Her rabbinic interests include interfaith family inclusion, intergenerational learning, and making Jewish tradition more open and accessible.
Before coming to Temple Israel, Rabbi Anderson taught at several universities, most recently Washington University in St. Louis, and held rabbinic internships at Kol Rinah in St. Louis, MO, and Temple Israel of Vestal, NY. She is currently a member of AJR's Board of Trustees and part of the Sounding Board for Bayit: Building Jewish. She also teaches one course a semester in UAlbany's Judaic Studies Program.
