Rabbinical Students with Non-Jewish Partners

Every HUC-JIR rabbinical student has an opportunity to address the College-Institute community with a "senior sermon."  At the New York City campus, this usually happens during a student's next-to-last year of school.  My senior sermon advocated for a a change in HUC-JIR's policy not to admit, graduate, or ordain rabbinical, cantorial, or education students with non-Jewish partners.  Several months after my sermon, the conversation expanded beyond the walls of the seminary, reaching as far as the online newspapers Ha'aretz and the Yiddish Forverts.  For more of my writing on this topic, see my piece in Reform Judaism Magazine, Sh'ma: A Journal of Jewish Ideas, and The Times of Israel.
