Dr. Max Kadushin, professor emeritus at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (JTS) and an authority on rabbinic thought, died here yesterday. He was 84 years old.
A graduate of New York University, he was ordained in 1920 at the JTS, the leading institution training Conservative rabbis in the United States. Kadushin received a doctorate from the JTS in 1932 and the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in 1952.
