We still miss
Rabbi Sherwin Wine, provost of the
International Institute for Secular
Humanistic Judaism, who died tragically
on July 21, 2007. As the founder of
Humanistic Judaism, Rabbi Wine laid out
our intellectual foundations, creating
many of its celebrations, rituals, and
educational materials. He also served as
primary faculty for the IISHJ in North
America, teaching a generation of
educators, Leaders and Rabbis. His loss
is a blow, and we will continue.
Rabbi Adam Chalom, Dean - North
America, IISHJ
