My sympathy to the family and friends of Rabbi Davis. I took his course which was team-taught with John H Elliott at University of San Francisco and I teach Jesus the Jew at Santa Clara U. because of that experience and depth of learning. He was full of curiosity and he shared his love of Judaism with all. I am grateful to have studied with him.

I took an Old Testament class from Rabbi Davis at Dominican College in, I think, 1975. That class was one of my favorite college courses as Rabbi Davis was an engaging and motivating teacher. My condolences to his family.
