In 1981, Rabbi Glogower,
his wife and children, head-
ed toward the Midwest to
accept a job with the Ann
Arbor Hillel. By 1985, he
felt a need to step up to the
pulpit and accepted a job in
Washington, D.C. He
remained with the congre-
gation for three years, then
returned to Ann Arbor,
working part-time at Hillel
and building up his resume
with other teaching and
rabbinic responsibilities.
"The politics, the intrigue
of being a pulpit rabbi —
you need thick skin for it. I
had some very rewarding
experiences, but I burnt out
quickly." Rabbi Glogower
said. "I returned to Ann
Arbor to create the ideal
position for myself."
And it appears he has.
Rabbi Glogower has
invented a life for himself
and his family which has
"minimum politics and max-
imum teaching possibili-
ties."
He focuses on "articulat-
ing Jewish teachings from
the rabbinic world in a
palatable language that is
exciting."
At Midrasha, that trans-
lates to teaching Torah and
Talmud by copying the actu-
al texts and decoding them
in class.
"As a traditionalist, I
believe these texts are of the
utmost importance to the
Jewish people — to guide us
within the very complex
world in which we live. I
access these texts, with
their technical, rabbinic
Hebrew, and help others
find what may be relevant
to today's Jews," Rabbi
Glogower said. "The circum-
stances (of modern debate)
are new, but we can con-
struct an answer from what
is already there."
But it is not only in the
classroom in which Rabbi
Glogower pulls from his sec-
ular experience.
"My imagery, when I
speak and teach, comes
from all aspects of my
world. I've written sermons
with themes derived from
Batman comic books," he
said. ❑
