RABBI BENJAMIN J. SEGAL
Rabbi Benjamin J. Segal is the immediate past President of
the Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies - the academic and
educational center of the Masorti-Conservative Movement
in Israel. Affiliated with The Jewish Theological Seminary,
Schechter offers a wide range of Masters and Doctoral
Programs through its School of Jewish Studies, the School
for Jewish Education and the Rabbinical School for the
Masorti Movement in Israel. In addition, and among other
educational endeavors geared to reach the multi-cultured
population in Israel, Schechter operates the TALI Education
Fund which enriches Jewish education and provides
pedagogic support in Israel's secular public school system
from kindergarten to secondary school. In 1998 this rapidly
expanding program encompassed 12,000 students, offering
traditional Jewish learning and experience in a tolerant, non-
coercive atmosphere. It is the only option of its kind in Israel.
Rabbi Segal was ordained at The Jewish Theological
Seminary in 1969 and later served as a congregational rabbi
in Palo Alto, CA. Since making aliyah in 1973, he has
been involved in the development of various educational
projects, as well as the growth of the Masorti Movement.
Rabbi Segal was previously Director of the Ramah Programs
and is past Chairman of the Masorti Movement. For many
years he served on the Expanded Executive of the World
Zionist Organization.
