This memorial address delivered by Chancellor Gerson D. Cohen at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America commemorates the life and contributions of Doctor Max Arzt (1897-1975), a distinguished rabbi, educator, and administrator. Through biographical narrative and personal testimony, Cohen examines Arzt's multifaceted career spanning congregational leadership, Seminary administration, and scholarly pursuits. The methodology employed is primarily eulogistic discourse, drawing upon personal anecdotes, professional observations, and textual analysis of Arzt's writings. Key findings reveal Arzt's distinctive approach to Jewish education and spiritual leadership, characterized by his integration of humor and profound religious commitment, his dedication to making classical Jewish texts accessible through midrashic interpretation, and his elevation of mundane administrative tasks to sacred missions. The study highlights Arzt's scholarly contributions, including his work on Midrash Tehilim manuscripts and his commentary "Justice and Mercy" on High Holy Day liturgy, as well as his participation in the Jewish Publication Society's Bible translation project. Cohen concludes that Arzt exemplified the synthesis of practical rabbinical service with serious scholarship, demonstrating how individual dedication to Torah and community service can sanctify both personal and professional endeavors. The address positions Arzt as a model of religious authenticity who maintained spiritual purpose throughout diverse roles as congregational rabbi, fundraiser, teacher, and counselor.
