He moved to Israel and became involved with a settler group near Hebron. Becoming disenchanted with this approach, he returned to the United States, where he met and worked for Orthodox rabbi and CLAL founder Irving Greenberg. He went on to pursue his own rabbinical studies, and became a proponent of interfaith dialogue and pluralist attitudes.〔〔Amy Klein, ("Ex-JDL member urges faith without fanaticism" ), ''Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles'', February 28, 2008.〕〔Carla Hinton, ("Noted rabbi’s book gets positive reaction from UCO" ), ''The Oklahoman'', November 21, 2009.〕 Hirschfield is a current co-president of CLAL–The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership, which describes itself as "a leadership training institute, think tank and resource center committed to religious pluralism and the healthier use of religion in American public life."〔 in 2002 Hirschfield was featured on ABC's ''Nightline UpClose'',〔("Nightline UpClose: Brad Hirschfield" ), December 26, 2002 (accessed June 17, 2010).〕 and PBS's ''Frontline: Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero''〔("Interview Rabbi Brad Hirschfield" ), interview for ''Frontline'' program ''Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero'' (2002), interview conducted winter 2002 (accessed June 19, 2010).〕 In 2009 he was interviewed on the National Public Radio program ''Tell Me More'',〔("Rabbi Teaches Hope In Trying Times" ), ''Tell Me More'', January 9, 2009 (accessed June 17, 2010).〕 and in 2010 for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's ''The Spirit of Things'' hosted by Rachael Kohn.〔("You Don't Have To Be Wrong For Me To Be Right" ), ''The Spirit of Things'' (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), February 21, 2010 (accessed June 17, 2010).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brad Hirschfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
