Rabbi Forman a wise choice to lead Jewish Studies Institute
Rabbi Lawrence Forman is exactly the sort of “mensch” needed to lead ODU’s Institute of Jewish Studies!

"It was only 30 years ago that Rabbi Forman stood in front of my wife, Shelley, and me to declare us man and wife. We began a relationship – a friendship – with this great cleric and religious leader. I thank my heavenly father every time I reflect on all he taught me about my Jewish roots, the foundation of my faith and the notion that regardless of our choice of faith, we all – Jew, Christian, Muslim, etc. – bring to the table a set of guidelines which can elevate each and all of us, and truly bring paradise to this rock we call Earth."
