Rabbi Seidenberg was engaging and thoughtful. He merged teaching with davening on Friday night and had people up and dancing. At another session, he brought participants into a deep discussion of the Jewish obligation to Love Your Neighbor/Love the Stranger, avoiding partisan politics and handling questions with authority. Rabbi Seidenberg teaches with love and it was a pleasure to learn from him.
