 We share the sad news that the Jewish community has lost a beloved leader, scholar, and inspiration. Rabbi Aaron Panken, President of Hebrew Union College, died this past weekend in a plane crash. In 2016, he honored us as our Scholar-in-Residence, and we experienced his insight in profound ways. Many who call him friend, teacher, and mentor feel the pain acutely. His memory will surely bring blessing. Zichrono livracha. Read more about him.
