Last updated

Joshua M. Davidson is an American rabbi. In 2013 he became rabbi of one of America's preeminent congregations, Congregation Emanu-El of New York. [1]

Davidson is the son of Rabbi Jerome Davidson, the long-serving rabbi of Temple Beth-El (Great Neck, New York), where Joshua Davidson was born and reared. [2] [3] Before moving to Temple Emanu-El, Davidson served as rabbi of Temple Beth-El of Chappaqua, New York. [2] Before Chappaqua, Davidson was assistant rabbi at New York's Central Synagogue. [4]

According to the New York Times , Rabbi Davidson has broken with a longstanding aspect of Temple Emanu-El adherence to the older, Classical expression of Reform Judaism by wearing a kippah and tallit. [4]
