Abstract:
When the Hornstein program was launched in 1969, its prospects for success were precarious. The Jewish community was ambivalent about the centrality of its Jewish identity and unconvinced of the need for Jewishly knowledgeable professionals, and the response of the Brandeis University faculty ranged from tepid to cold. In this unreceptive environment, Bernard Reisman recognized the potential of the program and brought it to fruition.
