Joshua Davidson

American rabbi

For the Scottish physician, see Joshua Henry Davidson.

Joshua Davidson is an American rabbi. In 2013 he became rabbi of one of America's preeminent congregations, Congregation Emanu-El of New York.[1]

Davidson is the son of Rabbi Jerome Davidson, the long-serving rabbi of Temple Beth-El (Great Neck, New York), where Joshua Davidson was born and reared.[2][3] Before moving to Temple Emanu-El, Davidson served as rabbi of Temple Beth-El of Chappaqua, New York.[2] Before Chappaqua, Davidson was assistant rabbi at New York's Central Synagogue.[4]

According to the New York Times, Rabbi Davidson has broken with a longstanding aspect of Temple Emanu-El adherence to the older, Classical expression of Reform Judaism by wearing a kippah and tallit.[4]
