Seth leadership column May 2018
Part of my “elevator speech” answer to the question “What is Reconstructionist Judaism?” has been the familiar, almost catchphrase: “Reconstructionists believe that Judaism is the evolving civilization of the Jewish people.” On a really short elevator ride, that could be the entire speech, leaving the person who asked the question slightly puzzled and really no better informed than they were when we left the lobby.

Condolence message - Aaron Pankin
The leadership of Reconstructing Judaism and especially the faculty and students of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College express condolences to the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion community and the entire Reform movement on the tragic death of Rabbi Aaron Panken, Ph.D., 12th president of HUC-JIR. Aaron was a visionary leader, a thoughtful scholar, a generous colleague and a mensch. His ties to the Reconstructionist movement were both collegial and familial and his loss feels personal and painful.

What is Social Entrepreneurship - Edgeblog
I teach rabbinical students to be entrepreneurs. Often, people respond, “Really, you teach rabbis how to make money?” Feigning patience, I explain that tackling the finances of any project is critical, but the tools I teach rabbis help them rack up solutions that impact the quality of people’s lives, not the big bucks. The proper term for my course is social entrepreneurship. Social entrepreneurship means applying a business-like discipline to creating solutions to social justice, cultural and environmental issues.
