saving the world one PFIC at a time
Mazal Tov to Dr. Seth Taylor. There is not a single time that our family gets
together to discuss European History where your name is not mentioned.
But to this day we wonder whether after standing Hegel on his head, Marx
saw everything upside down.
Warm regards,

Shaindy and Mike Gross
Suppose I told you that for 25 years we have had, at MTA, a faculty
member and administrator who not only has mastered the subject he teaches
so well (Modern European History), but reads prolifically, views an
extraordinary variety of films, mentors new teachers – and supports the rest
of us, attends parlor meetings for prospective new students, and speaks
Modern Hebrew with teachers and rebbeim. But that‟s not all.
Suppose I said that our students happily collect in his office for advice and
for fun, that they admire his style of dress, and that he helps make wondrous
student videos that poke fun at himself and others. And suppose I told you
he actually likes administrative duties, and has performed just about every
administrative function at MTA. And through it all, he smiles and smiles.
If I told you all that, you‟d say I‟m making it up, that‟s just an ideal model
teacher – a “man for all seasons”– that every school would love to have.
But you‟d be wrong, because it‟s all true. This incredible teacher,
administrator, and friend is our own Seth Taylor. I‟ve known him for all the
25 years he‟s been at MTA, and he‟s been all those wonderful things.
We have been, and are, so fortunate to have him at MTA.
Harriet Levitt, on behalf of all the General Studies faculty
Dr. Taylor
It is hard to imagine the chaos which would reign in our midst without
the stability you have always provided. With enduring respect for your
extraordinary talents and always pleasant disposition,
The Rebbeim of MTA
