Euston Manifesto in Ann Arbor: The loss of a legend, Rabbi Sherwin Wine In an ecumenical mood, the college had invited Wine to be a speaker for the weekly chapel service, thinking, perhaps, that it would be nice for the students to hear from a young Reform Jewish rabbi. Wine became the bete noire of conventional Judaism, and, indeed, of conventional religion in the mid-1960s, as his brand of humanist Judaism took hold and tradition gave way to innovation. Wine's life and accomplishments will be rehearsed over and over in the course of the next few days and weeks, as the many communities that claimed him as a leader and mentor mourn his passing and celebrate his extraordinary life. eustona2.blogspot.com /2007/08/loss-of-legend-rabbi-sherwin-wine.html   (711 words)

Rabbi Sherwin Wine To honor Sherwin Wine as our teacher, to show how successful he was, we must now continue to do what he taught us to do, but now without him. The first time I met Sherwin, at a convention of the Central Conference of American Rabbis in Atlanta in 1972 or 73, I was 29 or 30 years old, and he was one of the articulate rabbis who constituted a group of radicals holding out against the rising tide of traditionoid thinking in Reform Judaism. Sherwin was certain then, and as usual his analysis proved correctly, that Reform was incapable of fulfilling its promise as the Judaism of tomorrow. www.kolhadash.org /sherwinwine.html   (3261 words)

a fine wine - San Diego Jewish Journal Rabbi Sherwin Wine was ordained as a Reform rabbi, but Jewish history has led him to a powerful, controversial conclusion about God: He is irrelevant. Wine describes the movement as a horizontal religion that relies on the power in us and in others rather than a vertical religion oriented to a higher power. Despite the resurgence of religious orthodoxy in America, Wine believes secularism has staying power because it offers a vision of courage beyond faith – and is the only “rational” response to the findings of modern science, history and archeology. www.sdjewishjournal.com /stories/jan05_4.html   (868 words)

Gang of Pour's Homage to Lytton Springs Having been drafted as "wine steward" for the evening, it was my pleasure to decant and sample 31 bottles from 1989 and earlier. We then adjourned to the new tasting room, where the seeming endless array of Lytton wines were lined up on the tasting room bar - a bar faced with staves from the tanks that Richard Sherwin had contracted, stained with some of the very wines we were tasting. To taste this fabulous retrospective of wines from a single source; to see Richard Sherwin and Paul Draper renew their friendship after so many years; to witness the rededication and commitment to this unique piece of ground - these are wine memories that I will always carry with me. www.gangofpour.com /homage/celebration/index.html   (898 words)
