Rabbi Kaufman received a doctorate in philosophy from Boston University in 1971, and an honorary doctorate from the Jewish Theological Seminary in 1990. He has published many articles in Judaism (quarterly journal), Conservative Judaism (quarterly journal), The Reconstructionist (quarterly journal), and The Jewish Spectator (newspaper.) One of his projects has been to create a Jewish process theology, i.e. his works view Jewish theology through the panentheistic process philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead. Rabbi Kaufman married Nathalie Levin in 1965. They have a son, Ari, and a daughter, Beth.
