Daniel Bogard (along with his co-rabbi and life partner Karen) is a rabbi at Central Reform Congregation, a 36-year-old urban, progressive community of 800 in St. Louis, Missouri. Whether in Peoria where they were community rabbis, Cincinnati where they worked at a USCJ shul, or at CRC in St. Louis, Daniel and Karen have always split both their “1.25x” job and their parenting of their three kids.

Daniel has taught at both Hebrew Union College and Bradley University; he has worked as the Rabbi in Residence of the Episcopal Diocese of Cincinnati, and his interfaith work in Peoria was featured in the documentary, “The No Joke Project.” He is deeply proud to be a Senior Rabbinic Fellow of the Shalom Hartman Institute.
