Rabbi Landes has been described as a “remarkable teacher who weaves the insights of his students together through a group process, in order to discover fascinating new meanings in age-old texts.” Rabbi Landes heads the Pardes team of outstanding scholars who are well-known for their use of unique educational methodology that combine independent thinking and deep understanding with sensitivity to contemporary relevance.
Rabbi Landes was a founding faculty member and Director of Educational Projects at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and a professor of Ethics and Values at Yeshiva University of Los Angeles. He taught Jewish Law at Loyola Law School, and was a faculty member at prominent think tanks such as The RAND Corporation, and major Jewish educational institutions such as the Brandeis-Bardin Institute and CLAL. Rabbi Landes remains a long-term faculty member of the Wexner Foundation and serves on the educational advisory committee of Taglit-birthright Israel.
Rabbi Landes has lectured at the rabbinic seminaries of all major denominations. He is well-known for his struggle to create Jewish unity. In America his synagogue in Los Angeles, Bane-David Judaea, was known for Jewish inclusiveness, feminism, social action, and Halakhic observance.
