new academic curriculum to
emphasize the spiritual
aspects of Judaism. The rab-
binical seminar, for exam-
ple, will have' students
listening to each other's per-
sonal position papers and
diary entries on deep re-
ligious and philosophical
questions, instead of resear-
ch papers.
There will be no grades,
but rather evaluations
signed by both student and
teacher.
"We have to learn how to
be passionate believers,"
Rabbi Joel Rembaum of
Temple Beth Am in Los
Angeles said during a
plenary session on the con-
temporary .rabbinate. "We
have succeeded in touching
the intellect of our con-
gregants, but not the heart."
Rabbi Robert Abramson,
director of education at
United Synagogue of
America and formerly of
Detroit, concurred. "We're
now seeing an articulation of
a thirst for faith. We're see-
ing renewals of religion all
over," he said.
Indeed, rabbis from the
four corners of the United
States are all telling similar
stories of young, unobser-
vant Jews returning to
Judaism in search of a spiri-
tual experience.
"Our people complain that
we don't speak enough about
our feelings about God. And
that's a valid criticism.
We've neglected the subject,
because these are areas
where everyone is unsure.
It's hard to talk about," said
Nelson, the rabbi from Mich-
igan.
Nelson strongly disagrees
with Gilman that the semi-
nary's "wissenschaft" cur-
riculum is to blame. "The
text training and critical
emphasis was what I really
needed. I don't think you can
teach spirituality. It has to
come from within," he said.

Rabbi Alexander Graubart
of Congregation Beth
Shalom in San Francisco
feels the same way. He be-
lieves that halachah itself is
the basic material for all
Jewish spirituality. "The
new curriculum will end up
with the shallowest kind of
pseudo-spirituality," he
said. •

"The problem is that we
have lost the initiative in
creating new forms of Jew-
ish experience," he said.
"We have lost the ability to
reach our best lay people."
