[Rabbi Steven Ballaban]

President Paul Eisenberg was born and educated in Massachusetts, where he attended Worcester’s public schools and religious-education classes at Temple Emanuel from age six through high school, and then Clark and Harvard.  But he has been in Bloomington since 1966, when he joined the philosophy faculty after completing his doctorate, and he has gradually become an Indianan, if not exactly a Hoosier.  He served several terms as chair of his department and was elected secretary of the Bloomington Faculty Council and co-president of the University Faculty Council.  He was a member of the Jewish Studies faculty from the inception of that program.  In philosophy he is primarily interested in the thought of various great ethical theorists, including Plato, Spinoza, and several nineteenth-century figures.  He has long served as a member of IU’s Racial Incidents Team and Religious Bias Incidents Team. 

At Beth Shalom he has served as chair of the Sunday Night Forum Committee, as a member of the board, and as congregational vice-president.  He is especially interested in the areas of adult Jewish education and tikkun olam.  He and his wife, Lana, are regular participants in the Friday night minyan.
