“After ten years of intensive training and education, I was ordained as a rabbi. The late, sainted Lubavitcher Rebbe then sent me to New England, where I taught at yeshivas he’d helped to found and served as rabbi to several congregations. It was during this time -the early and mid-1950s - that I began to feel the need for more education and a wider range of experience, but I wasn’t sure what I was looking for.

Up to that point in my life, my religious training had taken place entirely within the Jewish world. Then I enrolled in graduate school at Boston University, where I earned a master’s degree in the psychology of religion.”
