Leonard Beerman
Leonard I. Beerman (April 9, 1921 – December 24, 2014) was an American Reform rabbi. He served for 37 years at Leo Baeck Temple in Los Angeles 〔(Rabbi Beerman at Leo Baeck Temple )〕 as founding rabbi. He was known for his liberal political activism, his support of interfaith dialogue, and his advocacy of peace and a two-state solution in the Middle East.
==Biography==
Beerman was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leonard Beerman ), also available (here ) at HighBeam Research.〕 to Paul and Tillie Beerman. His father was a traveling salesman of women's lingerie, and his mother was a homemaker. He spent some of his later childhood in Owosso, Michigan, then returned to Altoona and studied at Penn State, from which he graduated in 1942.〔("Rabbi Leonard Beerman Interviewed at Leo Baeck Temple" ), University of Southern California California Social Welfare Archives, April 3, 1997.〕 He served but did not see combat in the United States Marines during World War II, studied for the rabbinate at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, and briefly joined the Haganah in 1947 while studying for his rabbinical degree in Israel. In a later interview Beerman said that his pacifist convictions arose during his five months experience with the Haganah.〔〔
After receiving his rabbinical ordination and a masters degree from Hebrew Union College, he and his wife moved west in 1949 to take the pulpit at Leo Baeck Temple, which was then a new congregation with 28 families. As the temple grew in size and influence, and ultimately moved to a campus in Bel Air, Beerman became known for his political activism, his opposition to the Vietnam War, his support for interfaith dialogue with Christians and Muslims, and his willingness to criticize actions of the Israeli government and its defense forces. He held a longtime position as "rabbi-in-residence" at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena.〔 Beerman acknowledged his own agnosticism and found a structure for his personal theology in the pantheism of Baruch Spinoza.〔Beverly Beyette, ("Roast Yields More Light Than Heat: Event Kicks Off Celebrations for Retired Rabbi Beerman" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', December 10, 1986.〕
Beerman retired from Leo Baeck Temple in 1986.〔 His first wife, Martha, died suddenly a few days after his retirement celebration.〔(Martha (Fechheimer) Beerman Obituary ), ''The American Israelite'', December 14, 1986.〕 He also lost an 8-year-old granddaughter to sudden death in 1993.
