Preserving the Legacy

The Audio, Video and Document Libary



The first project of the Institute is this site: a comprehensive effort of collecting, cataloging and making available Rabbi Schulweis' material legacy: his books and articles, transcripts, poetry, and digitized copies of previously unpublished sermons, lectures and teachings, selected letters, essays, and monographs. The Library combines a large physical collection of books, documents, and original writings with an on-line virtual library which makes Rabbi Schulweis' scholarly legacy available worldwide.

Extending the Legacy

The Scholars Series & Global Outreach



Rabbi Schulweis has led public discussion of the central issues of Jewish life. The Scholars Series will continue his vision. The inaugural event in this series was the extraordinary “Conversation of the Learned,” convened from March 30 to April 1, 2005, in honor of Rabbi Schulweis’ eightieth birthday, and was attended by several thousand people over the three day sessions. Recordings from this event are available as CD and cassette tape albums and online from the Institute Online Library on this site.

Enhancing the Legacy

The Creative Arts Program



Rabbi Schulweis is deeply committed to the place of the arts in Jewish life, and most particularly, in the life of the synagogue. The Creative Arts program will encourage artists in all disciplines to share their gifts with the synagogue community. Composers, musicians, poets, dancers, dramatists, painters, and sculptors will be enlisted to deepen and share their vision with the synagogue and to enter into dialogues with its members.
