Personal Theology
Essays in Honor of Neil Gillman
Neil Gillman has been a part of the JTS community for over 50 years as a student, administrator and member of the faculty. His most enduring contribution as a scholar and a teacher has been a renewed focus on the importance of theological reflection in rabbinic education and Jewish education, both in the Conservative movement and Jewish life generally. This volume seeks to honor Professor Gillman’s contributions to Jewish scholarship and education by collecting essays by his colleagues and students that discuss the issues most central to his work, namely Jewish theology, Conservative Judaism and Jewish education.
Rabbi William Plevan, a graduate of the Jewish Theological Seminary, has served as the rabbi at Congregation Shaare Zedek since autumn 2009. His current research is on Martin Buber's philosophical anthropology.
