THE JEWISH NEWS FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS DRIVE DRUNK. Alfred Gottschalk Steps Down At HUC New York (JTA) — On a recent visit to Shanghai, Alfred Gottschalk's guide translated his name into Chinese characters. "Gau Chou Chok," was the transliteration, meaning "tall in- tellectual who travels a lot." The description is an apt one for Rabbi Gottschalk, 64, who re- cently announced his retirement after 24 years as president of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, the Reform movement's rabbinical seminary and academic center. An ordained rabbi with a doc- torate in religion, Rabbi Gottschalk towers above the smil- ing rabbinical students in the snapshots lining HUC's promo- tional brochures. He is also a noted traveler and author of numerous books and es- says, representing HUC-JIR, and the Reform movement in acade- mic and fund-raising ventures around the world. In a recent interview at his spacious corner office at HUC's Manhattan campus, Rabbi Gottschalk reflected on his quar- ter-century at the helm of an in- stitution that during his tenure saw the ordination of female rab- bis and cantors, the admission of openly gay and lesbian students and the ordination of the first Is- raeli- born Reform rabbis. He said the ordination of women was one of his seminal achievements. "This is not a question of gen- der; it's a question of the use and abuse of power," he explained. Rabbi Gottschalk said the biggest problem facing contem- porary Judaism — assimilation — is one that requires innovative, interdenominational thinking. "We need an entirely new ap- proach to this generation," said Rabbi Gottschalk. "I'm not that provincial to be- lieve we have all the answers in the Reform movement. We don't. We're constantly seeking new di- rections," he said. A noted manager and fund- raiser, Rabbi Gottschalk steered the 118-year-old school through difficult financial times, oversee- ing its branches in New York, Cincinnati, Los Angeles and Jerusalem while expanding and revamping their facilities, facul- ty and curricula. He also managed the trans- formation of what was once strict- ly a rabbinical and cantorial school into a major academic cen- ter. HUC now offers advanced aca- demic degrees in education, com- munal service and graduate studies, and has extensive library and museum holdings. Alfred Gottschalic `It's time.' Recognizing the need for trained Jewish professionals, Rabbi Gottschalk founded the Ir- win Daniels School of Jewish Communal Service in Los Ange- les, the first school of its kind, as well as numerous other programs and institutions. He has also pushed to strengthen the Reform move- "My internal clock tells me it's time." ment's profile in Israel, greatly expanding the facilities of the school's Jerusalem campus, es- tablishing a mandatory year in Israel for rabbinical students and founding a program to train Is- raeli leadership for the Israel Pro- gressive Movement. Despite his modernization ef- forts, Rabbi Gottschalk said that in the Reform movement's tug- of-war between modernity and tradition, he has often rallied for the latter. Rabbi Gottschalk — who will assume the newly created posi- tion of chancellor once his suc- cessor is chosen — explained his departure along generational lines. "My internal clock tells me it's time" he said with a smile. "The college needs to have a president of this generation as I was the president of my generation." A search committee has been formed by the school's board of directors to select a new presi- dent. Rabbi Gottschalk will re- main as president until a successor is chosen.
