Report from Israel – January 2003
One of the privileges of being the Dean of the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies is my annual trip to Israel. Each winter, I have the chance to visit with our 3rd year students, pursuing our course of studies in Jerusalem. I use the time to meet with leaders of Conservative Judaism in Israel, to confer with rabbis and scholars from other streams of Jewish life, and have a chance to speak at a variety of yeshivot and institutes while I’m there. It is both a joy and a great privilege to be able to spend time in Jerusalem.
