A Personal Thank You to Rabbi David Hartman and Dr. Menachem Elon:

Giants of the Jewish World

By Avi Weiss

I am deeply, deeply saddened to hear of the death of my friend, Rabbi Dr.  David Hartman.  This comes on the heels of the loss of the great Jewish legal scholar, Dr. Menachem Elon.  While Dr. Elon and Rabbi Hartman made different contributions to Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael, for me, as part of the Yeshivat Chovevei Torah (YCT) and Yeshivat Maharat families, they had a common point - their unconditional support for our vision, our programs and our institutions.
