 See and Hear Sherwin Wine on Tape

Rabbi Wine, the founder of Humanistic Judaism, was an eloquent and charismatic speaker.  The Harvard University Humanist Chaplaincy website contains a video of Sherwin's talk at the conference on Humanism in 2007.  There is also a recording of a radio interview with Sherwin from that same weekend, in response to the VaTech shootings.  Both recordings wonderfully capture his presence, his ideas, and his view of Humanistic Judaism.
