The Rabbi Martin Katzenstein Award

The Rabbi Martin Katzenstein Award was established in 1979 by the Harvard Divinity School Alumni/ae Association "to honor among its graduates one who exhibits a passionate and helpful interest in the lives of other people, an informed and realistic faithfulness, an embodiment of the idea that love is not so much a way of feeling as a way of acting, and a reliable sense of humor." It is named for Rabbi Martin Katzenstein, ThM '58, who was Acting Dean of Students when he died in 1970 and was passionately involved with the school for many years.
