Rabbi Etan Mintz is an American rabbi, activist, writer, and the spiritual leader of the historic B'nai Israel Synagogue (Baltimore) of Baltimore.[1] Rabbi Mintz is leading the revitalization of the oldest continually active synagogue in Maryland and one of the oldest standing synagogues in America. Mintz is an active proponent of Jewish pluralism and outreach to support other minority communities.[2] He is a nationally sought speaker, writer, and organizer on Judaism, racial justice, and Jewish values.[3] In response to the 2015 Baltimore protests after the shooting of Freddie Gray, Rabbi Mintz led a multiracial, interfaith group of clergy to increase community cooperation in Baltimore. Rabbi Mintz has advocated for strengthening racial relations and has advocated for a more welcoming and inclusive vision of Modern Orthodox Judaism.[4][5][6][7][8]

Rabbi Mintz, an orthodox rabbi, believes that it is incumbent upon the Jewish community to partner with other communities to combat antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, and xenophobia.[9] Rabbi Mintz is a member of the Board of the Center for Jewish Education,[10] and the leadership board of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah,.[11] He has been a Senior Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute.

Rabbi Mintz received his rabbinical ordination from the Rabbi Isaac Elchanon Rabbinical School at Yeshiva University. He also holds an M.P.A. degree from the Kennedy School at Harvard University and a master's degree in Jewish Philosophy and Mysticism from the Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies. Rabbi Mintz lives in Baltimore with his wife, Dr. Tammy Mintz, and their four children.
