Exciting teachers and scholars are critical as they invigorate and challenge stu- dents of all ages. The Conservative Movement Scholar In Residence Program, made possible through the support of the Federation Max M. Fisher Jewish Community Foun- dation, the Detroit Friends of the Jewish Theological Seminary and the United Synagogue of Conser- vative Judaism, Michigan region, will stimulate all Jews to actively re-con- nect to the sources of our tradition: God, Israel and the Torah. This year's Scholar, Rabbi Debra Orenstein, received her rabbinic or- dination from the Jewish Theologi- cal Seminary. She is currently serving as a Senior Fellow at the Wilstein In- stitute of Jewish Policy Studies in southern California. A seventh gen- eration rabbi, she co-authored From Generation to Generation, a col- lection of sermons and Bible corn- mentaries with her late grandfather, Rabbi Israel Mowshowitz, z I. Rabbi Orenstein has also taught and writ- ten extensively on issues of Jewish spirituality and gender studies. She is the editor of two volumes entitled Lifecycles: Jewish Women. The first volume, published in 1994, fo- cuses on life passages and person- al milestones for women. The second volume is scheduled for re- lease this fall and examines issues of sexuality, spirituality and identity as they parallel themes of the Torah. Rabbi Orenstein is blessed with a unique sensibility that allows her to identify with the attempt on the part of many American Jews to use their tradition to deal with the issues that lie at the heart of the human expe- rience-the seach for meaning in their lives, the need to deal with pain, anxiety, intimacy, guilt and values.
