He is an alumnus of City College and was ordained at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York in 1955. After serving as a United States Army Chaplain in France, Spivack occupied the pulpit of the Cape Cod Synagogue. He was the founding rabbi of Temple Isaiah in Great Neck, from which he retired in 1982 to complete his law degree. He was admitted to the bar in 1984. Since that time, Spivack has served congregations on Roosevelt Island and in Greenport.
