Stuart Rothenberg Quotes

Never before in Jewish history has the laity expected the rabbi to act as pastor and counselor, nor considered it necessary for the rabbi to be a `preacher'. Fundamentals of religion were left to the elementary teachers of Jewish schools...The ancient rabbis were the lay teachers and guides of the total Jewish community. The modern American rabbi has become but a staff member, albeit `chief of staff' of a private Jewish membership club, the synagogue of the twentieth century...He is identified with only part of a community, the religious part.
