Dean of Student Life Rick Sawyer announced in an e-mail last Friday that Rabbi Allan Lehmann, the University's Jewish Chaplain, will be resigning this July to assume the post of associate dean of the rabbinical school at Hebrew College in Newton, Mass.Lehmann came to Brandeis in 2000 after 20 years in Gainsville, Fla. At the time, he told the Brandeis Reporter that "the opportunities to shape the future in such a spiritually, academically and Jewishly rich environment are limitless."

Larry Sternberg, Hillel's executive director, will meet with students Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Hillel Lounge to discuss criteria for Lehmann's successor. A farewell reception for Lehmann will be held next Tuesday at 5 p.m. in Feldberg Lounge.
