Rabbi Daniel E. Bridge is Rabbi Emeritus and the Greenstein Family Executive Director of Hillel Foundation for Jewish Campus Life at the University of Washington, where he has been since 1988. He also served as adjunct faculty to the University of Washington on numerous local and national boards, including the central Conference of American Rabbis.

Rabbi Bridge collaborated with long-term colleague and friend Rabbi Anson Laytner to translate and adapt The Animals' Lawsuit Against Humanity. This story is an incredible multi-faith adaptation of an ancient Iraqi tale in which animals all speak a common language and try to demand humane treatment from the humans who just won't listen. The story is an uplifting allegory to how we treat all life on Earth, including animals, the environment, and even other human beings. At the conclusion of the story, the reader is left with a feeling that there is hope for humanity, the entire animal kingdom, and maybe even the planet.

Rabbi Bridge holds degrees in a huge array of disciplines, including German Language and Literature, Microbiology, and Hebrew Letters and also holds a Certificate in Jewish Communal Service. In the past, he has worked with the California State Commission on the Changing family, and also as Assistant Director of the Pacific Southwest Council for Reform Judaism.
