Born and raised in Chicago, Meir Soloveichik attended Yeshiva College in New York, studied religious philosophy at the Yale Divinity School, and earned his PhD in religion from Princeton University. He serves as Director of Yeshiva University's Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought and as Rabbi at Congregation Shearith Israel in New York, the oldest Jewish congregation in the United States. Soloveichik has published widely on both Jewish and American history and has lectured around the world on the intersection of religious and political thought. Most recently, Bible 365 , a six-days-a-week podcast that guides listeners through the entire Hebrew Bible, has struck a deep chord among audiences religious and non-religious alike. Soloveichik has testified before the U.S. Congress on the subjects of law and religion and served as a member of the State Department's Commission on Inalienable Human Rights. See less
