Rabbi Glickman

Since arriving in Dallas in 2001, Rabbi David M. Glickman has been a powerful catalyst for cutting-edge, innovative programming, dynamic education, and meaningful spiritual experiences at Congregation Shearith Israel.

Currently, Rabbi Glickman serves as the Education Director of our Weitzman Family Religious School. Additionally, Rabbi Glickman’s pulpit responsibilities are at our North Satellite, Beit Aryeh every Shabbat and holiday.

Rabbi Glickman has been instrumental in creating adult education opportunities here with world-renown Jewish luminaries, as well as engaging learning with Shearith’s own teachers of Torah. Rabbi Glickman’s own passion for teaching shines in his connection with students from ages 2-92.

For five years, Rabbi Glickman expanded our Young Professionals’ program to be one of the shining lights in Dallas for young adult Jewish life and culture before passing the YP torch to Rabbi Menashe.

Through Rabbi Glickman’s vision and guidance, the innovative speaker series 100 Jewish Men and 100 Jewish Women have brought together hundreds of congregants of all ages for dynamic evenings that are both socially and intellectually stimulating.

On Shabbat and Holidays, Rabbi Glickman runs Shearith Israel’s North Satellite, Beit Aryeh, the Ann and Nate Levine Academy campus. This lay-led service is a warm community of families that share holidays, Torah discussion, and lively worship together every week. It is a growing community for our families in Far North Dallas, Plano, Richardson and Frisco.

Both STAR (Synagogue Transformation and Renewal) and the Jewish Theological Seminary have recognized Rabbi Glickman, selecting him to participate in their national, young leaders’ fellowships, STAR-PEER and the Legacy Heritage Rabbinic Education Initiative.

Rabbi Glickman's wife, Annie, is originally from Tacoma, Washington, and is a regional director for the national office of the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School. Rabbi and Annie are blessed with three beautiful children: Gavriel (born 2001), Eliora (born 2005), and Daniela (born 2009).
