DAVID HARTMAN Obituary

HARTMAN--Rabbi David. The Jewish Theological Seminary joins the family and the Jewish People in mourning the loss of Rabbi David Hartman--prize-winning philosopher and educator, champion of Jewish pluralism, founder of the Shalom Hartman Institute, and teacher and friend to many Jewish and non-Jewish leaders in both Israel and the Diaspora. Rabbi Hartman was a passionate and lifelong student of Torah whose commitment to religious tolerance and dialogue, to a rejuvenated Judaism, to a closer relationship between Israel and the Diaspora, and to the rights of men and women everywhere never wavered. May his family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Arnold M. Eisen, Chancellor Abby Joseph Cohen, Board Chair

My memories of our beloved "Rabbi Dovie" go back to his first pulpit, Congregation Anshe Amas in the Bronx. The fire that burned in his eyes came from his love of Torah and his love of Judaism. I was one of his original "Youth Group". He was a great gift to the Jews. May his family be comforted by his memory, and may his memory always be for a blessing.

I was a hebrew school student of Rabbi Hartman at the Mount Eden Center in the Bronx in 1954-1955. I have fond memories of learning and being inspired by him...and and also of playing basketball with him.
