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." [ [http://www.hds.harvard.edu/alumni/awards.html#katzenstein Harvard Divinity School Website] ] Rabbi Martin Katzenstein, ThM '58, who was Acting Dean of Students when he died in 1970, was passionately involved with the school for many years.
