The Path to Pluralism
According to Rosenberg, Harvard's Hillel is unique in that it brings together all denominations--these groups stay separate on some other college campuses.
That the groups are able to interact at all, many agree, bodes well for the organization.
"Just the fact that there are debates is an incredible sign," Rosenberg says.
He says the group's governing body, known as the Coordinating Council, is set up to allow students to have their voices heard.
To become a voting member of the council, a student need only attend two meetings.
And although final authority over issues of ritual observances in public spaces rests with Steinberg, Hillel's executive director, the council is responsible for making many of the larger decisions that affect Hillel.
