Menachem Creditor is an American rabbi, author and musician. He is the Pearl and Ira Meyer Scholar-in-Residence at UJA-Federation New York and the founder of Rabbis Against Gun Violence. His work has appeared in the Times of Israel, the Huffington Post, the Jewish Week, the Jewish Daily Forward, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times.

Creditor received ordination from the Jewish Thelogical Seminary of America rabbinical school, after which his first job was as assistant rabbi at Temple Israel in Sharon, Massachusetts from 2002 to 2007, followed by rabbi of Congregation Netivot Shalom in Berkeley, California from 2007 to 2018. From 2013 to 2018 he was a frequent contributor to the Huffington Post. In 2018, he was named the Pearl and Ira Meyer Scholar-in-Residence of UJA-Federation of New York. In addition to his congregational career, he is a frequent speaker on questions of identity, leadership, activism and spirituality. His engagements include synagogues, college campuses, and communities. Creditor was named by Newsweek in 2013 as one of the Most Influential Rabbis in America.

In August 2012, Creditor traveled to Ghana, Africa, with American Jewish World Service, and has since become increasingly vocal on issues such as global slavery and urban gun violence, partnering with national faith-based organizing groups such as the PICO Network and Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice. He has twice been invited as an American faith leader to the White House, presenting "A Prophetic Response to Gun Violence" and the PICO interfaith "Healing the Soul of America from Gun Violence" statement. As an outcome of the clergy gathering, Creditor edited and published a collection of rabbinic voices as Peace in Our Cities: Rabbis Against Gun Violence. The book has been distributed to congressional leaders, and Creditor's contemporary "Prayer to end Gun Violence" has been distributed by interfaith organizations around the United States.

In August 2014, he edited and published in less than two days a collection entitled The Hope: American Jewish Voices in Support of Israel in solidarity with Israel during attacks from Hamas in Gaza. From 2014 to 2017, Creditor led the Progressive Rabbinic Mission to Israel through AIEF, AIPAC's educational foundation.

In March 2016, Creditor helped lead a rabbinic walk-out during the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington, D.C. when Donald Trump took the stage. Then, following Trump's speech, Creditor addressed the 18,000 conference attendees calling upon them to reject "the politics of hate".

Following the Orlando nightclub shooting, Creditor edited a rapid-response book, Not by Might: Channeling the Power of Faith to End Gun Violence, including 62 faith leaders as contributors and a foreword by Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action.

On October 27, 2018, after a domestic terrorist murdered 11 worshipers in a mass shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue, Creditor spoke alongside Mayor Bill de Blasio, Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, and other New York religious and elected leaders. Two months later, he published Holding Fast: Jews Respond to American Gun Violence, a collection of teenagers, rabbis and others from the Tree of Life community and beyond, calling as Jews for an end to American gun violence.

In 2022, Creditor published an anthology of his own writings on American gun violence, entitled Ending Gun Violence, with a foreword by Fred Guttenberg, an American gun violence activist whose daughter, Jaime, was murdered in the 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
