Judaism-4000
Rabbi Stanley R. Funston,
spiritual leader of Congregation
Beth Ha-Tephila in Asheville,
North Carolina, was a guest on
the Brevard College campus on
March 23 and 24. Rabbi Fun
ston was sponsored by the Jew
ish Chautaqua Society, an organ
ization which promotes under
standing through knowledge of
Jews and Judaism.
On Wednesday and Thursday
Rabbi Funston met with each
religion class. He explained the
differences between Orthodox,
Conservative, and Reform Jews.
He pointed out that Judaism is
a religion, not a nationality. He
also emphasized the fact that
Judaism will take converts, but
unlike Christianity, does not
seek out converts.
“Judaism — 4,000 Years
Young” was the subject of the
Brevard College Chapel Service
on Wednesday night at 6:30.
Rabbi Funston began by tracing
the history of Judaism from
4,000 years back, to the pres
ent time. Jews have made a
great contribution to art, sci
ence, and literature. It was
pointed out that about 12% of
all Nobel Prize winners in phys
ics and chemistry are Jews.
Rabbi Funston is a member
of the Lions Club, Board of Di
rectors of the Jewish Commu
nity Center in Asheville, and a
member of the Ministers Fellow
ship of Buncombe Coimty. Or
dained in 1963, Rabbi Fimston
received his BA in 1958 from
the University of Cincinnati and
his MA in 1963 from Hebrew
Union College.
