BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES top

Theodore S. Levy

Theodore S. Levy was born April 16, 1926 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Jacob and Sara Levy, who were Russian immigrants. Levy received a B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh and went on to receive many other degrees, including a Master of Sacred Theology from Temple University, a Master of Hebrew Letters from Hebrew Union College, and an Honorary Doctor of Divinity from Hebrew Union College in 1976. He was ordained a rabbi in 1951 at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Immediately after ordination, Levy served at Keneseth Israel in Philadelphia, until 1952 when he left for Ohev Sholom in Huntington, West Virginia where he stayed until 1959. After three years at Temple Israel in Waterbury, Connecticut, Levy was appointed associate rabbi at the Temple Society of Concord in Syracuse, New York, where he became senior rabbi in 1969. Levy was the 3rd rabbi in 110 years at Temple Society of Concord which is the 11th oldest Jewish congregation in the U.S. He remained in Syracuse until his retirement in August 1989.

After retirement in 1989, Levy was called to help Congregation Beth Yam, a newly formed congregation on Hilton Head, South Carolina. The Levys relocated there in 1991, and under his leadership, the congregation’s membership tripled. Levy is considered to be Hilton Head’s first official rabbi.

Levy was a dedicated educator. He guest lectured at Marshall University in West Virginia. In a groundbreaking move in 1967, Levy became the first rabbi to be appointed to teach at Le Moyne College, a Jesuit institution. For over 20 years he taught Introduction to Judaism and The Development of Jewish Thought, and eventually became the senior professor in the department. He also taught in Canada.

In addition to teaching, Levy devoted much of his time to community work and was active in many organizations. One of his early experiences of service came during the time he spent in work camps in Belgium and France through the American Friends Service Committee in 1950. Levy also served as Vice President of the Syracuse Jewish Federation and was active in the Rotary Clubs, where he became a Paul Harris Fellow.

Levy became a 32nd Degree Mason. This was achieved at the request of Temple Israel in Waterbury, Connecticut, to open the way for other Jewish men to have the opportunity to also achieve this position in Masonry which, until this time, had been closed to Jews.

Of particular importance to Levy were interfaith relations and bridging the gap between those from different backgrounds where he lived. He served on the board of the Syracuse Interfaith Committee on Religion and race. In the mid 1970s, he was named the founding president of the Syracuse Interreligious Council. As member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis for over 50 years, Levy participated in its Interreligious Activities Committee. Levy also brought his interfaith message to the public through his monthly column “From the Rabbi’s Study” which appeared in the Catholic Sun starting in 1973.

Controversial topics did not cause Levy to avoid what he saw as his duty. He served on the Citizen’s Council on Urban Renewal in Syracuse. In 1984 at the invitation of Senator Orrin Hatch, Rabbi Levy gave the invocation at the opening of the United States Senate.

Throughout his life, Levy was committed to the preservation of Jewish history. He accompanied Jacob Rader Marcus on his 1952 and 1962 archival expeditions to retrace the steps of Jews who were expelled from Spain after 1492. The 1952 expedition was to the Carribean, and the 1962 trip was to the Jesusalem as well as the European cities of London, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, and Rome. On these trips, Levy served as Marcus’ assistant and helped him find and secure materials for transport to the American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati, Ohio. Levy was also a founding member of the Jewish Historical Society of South Carolina.

Rabbi Levy was a fine musician who played the organ for services at the Hebrew Union College while a student there. He also played viola in the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra after relocating to South Carolina in 1991.

Theodore Levy married Ina Rae Burdman in Youngstown, Ohio on November 30, 1957. They had three children, Seth, Cynthia, and Jonathan Levy.

Levy died on November 11, 2004 at age 78.

Ina Rae Levy

Ina Rae Burdman was born on July 22, 1929 to Harry and Doris Burdman, in Youngstown, Ohio. Each of her parents immigrated to the United States from Russia in the 1920s.

Levy pursued coursework at several universities, but ultimately earned her B.S. in Education in 1967 and an M.S. in Family Therapy in 1972, from Syracuse University. Her relationship with Syracuse University continued throughout the 1970s while she worked as an assistant professor and assistant to the dean in the College of Human Development. Her courses examined marriage, family and also the mass media.

Ina Rae accompanied Theodore Levy on his 1962 archival trip with Jacob Rader Marcus. Ina Rae’s parents helped fund the expeditions. Ina Rae was named Woman of Achievement for Career Development for 1972 and again in 1985 in for All Time Achievement. She also received the prestiguous Hannah G. Solomon Award from the National Council of Jewish Women.

Levy devoted herself to the equality and advancement of women and issues affecting them. She worked with the pregnancy drug DES (Diethylstilbestrol) Action group through her position as president of the Upstate Medical Center and through serivce on the board and committees of Planned Parenthood. She also worked to educate people about consumerism and drug use. She was featured in several newspaper articles that examined women who balanced a career, family and community activism.

Ina Rae Levy was vice president of the New York State Federation of Women’s Clubs and the first president of the Women’s Assembly of Syracuse Jewish Federation. Levy was also active in the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods and was the president of her district. As a vice-chair for the World Union For Progressive Judaism, she traveled with her husband throughtout the world.

Ina Rae Levy continues to live in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
