Student Rabbi Howie Stein is currently in his fourth
year of rabbinical studies at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion
in Cincinnati, OH. He was born in Westchester County, NY, and raised on Long
Island. He grew up both in the
Reform movement and in the Workmen’s Circle (a Jewish cultural organization).
He became bar mitzvah and was confirmed at Community Reform Temple in
Westbury, NY, where he was also a student teacher in the religious school and
president of the youth group. During
the summers, he attended the Workmen’s Circle’s Camp Kinder Ring, first as a
camper and then as a computer counselor.
After receiving his B.S. in Computer Science from
Cornell University’s College of Engineering, Howie spent the next ten years
building a successful career as a software engineer.
Always active in synagogue life, Howie’s career interests shifted
towards the rabbinate and he left software engineering in 2002 to enroll in the
Hornstein Program in Jewish Communal Service at Brandeis University. He began
his rabbinical studies at HUC’s Jerusalem campus in 2004, returning to
Cincinnati the following year.
