Biographical Sketch
Alvin Jay Reines was born in Paterson, New Jersey in 1926 and received an Orthodox Jewish education. He graduated from the Rabbi Jacob Joseph School in Manhattan and the Talmudical Academy of New York. He then entered Yeshiva University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1947. After graduating from Yeshiva University, he went to New York University Law School and left before completing his degree. In a rare move for Orthodox-educated Jews of his generation, Reines went to Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion and earned his master’s of Hebrew Letters and received ordination in 1952. In 1958, he earned a doctorate from Harvard where he studied under Harry Austryn Wolfson. In that same year, he joined the faculty of Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion as a professor of Jewish Philosophy. He taught there for over four decades before retiring in 2003.
His field of specialization was medieval philosophy, particularly the work of Moses Maimonides, and he struggled both to understand Maimonides as a halakhic and philosophical thinker and to deal with revelation as a source of absolute authority. Rejecting the notion of absolute authority led to his own original philosophical innovation. He developed the concept of polydoxy, meaning a religion of many opinions, in which the notion of absolute knowledge is abandoned and diversity and individual autonomy is not only respected but welcomed. This concept has had significant influence on liberal religious thought in the United States and elsewhere as well as within the Reform movement. He helped create the Institute for Creative Judaism and chaired its board, which was formed to develop religious, educational, and liturgical material for free Judaism. It has evolved into The Polydox Institute, which is "committed to serving all polydoxians, be they of Jewish, Christian or other origin, and whether or not they view themselves as belonging to any historic religious group, or as being presently affiliated with any organized religious body." His work has thus had influence far beyond the Jewish community. For religious communities that reject the existence of infallible knowledge, Reines argued that the only morally justifiable position was to affirm individual autonomy. Such communities should be prepared, Reines maintained, to accommodate diverse and even unconventional beliefs, rituals, and practices.
The Reform Movement's Gates of Prayer (1975) included an edited version of the polydox Sabbath worship service written by Reines. His seminal work is Polydoxy: Explorations in a Philosophy of Liberal Religion, (1987). Among his other works are Elements in a Philosophy of Reform Judaism (1968), Maimonides and Abarbanel on Prophecy (1970), and Reform Judaism as Polydoxy (1970–1973). His work on the Institute includes services for Hanukah and Rosh Hashanah as well as a Passover Haggadah.
Alvin Reines died in 2004.
