Rabbi Adam Kligfeld
Rabbi Adam Kligfeld has served as Senior Rabbi of Temple Beth Am in Los Angeles since 2009. A graduate of Columbia with a degree in History and Psychology, and a graduate of JTS’s rabbinical school, Adam first served in Monroe, NY for 9 years before moving to LA. His most recent work, in addition to shepherding a campus overhaul that saw the community dedicate an award-winning, light-filled, in-the-round sanctuary in 2019, has focused on interfaith relationship-building (mostly with local Muslim communities), as well as integrating Jewish thought, practice, and nomenclature into meditation and mindfulness forms and practices that stem from the eastern faith and cultural traditions. He is married to Havi, a Couples Therapist in private practice, and proud father to Noa (23), Ayden (20) and Lev (12). He is an avid Yankee fan, an avid biker, and an avid dog owner.
