Rabbi David Whiman received ordination in 1979 from the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. He served congregations in Boston, Houston and New York. He received his Doctorate from Andover Newton Theological School. Since his retirement from full time rabbinic work in 2012, he has volunteered his time with small congregations in Montana, Michigan, North Carolina and presently Milan Italy. Rabbi Whiman also taught at HUC, Andover-Newton, Brandeis, Rice University, and The Episcopal Divinity School in DC. He writes a weekly blog and has published on preaching, professional development and institutional change.

Our conversation covers the creation of men, Cain and Abel, Noah, jealousy, reason, and more.
