 Rabbi Sherwin Wine Dies

Sherwin Wine died in a car accident on July 21, 2007, while travelling in Morocco.  Rabbi Wine was the founder of Humanistic Judaism, and a teacher, mentor, and friend to many in the congregation.
  • The SHJ web site contains an obituary, as well as a video of the memorial service at the Birmingham Temple.  
  • The Harvard University Humanist Chaplaincy  website contains a video of Sherwin's talk at the  conference on Humanism last April.  There is also a recording of a radio interview with Sherwin from that same weekend, in response to the VaTech shootings.   Both recordings wonderfully capture his presence, his ideas, and his view of Humanistic Judaism.
