Milton Steinberg November 25, 1903 - March 20, 1950 was an
American rabbi and author. 
　　Born in Rochester, New York, he was raised with the combination
of his grandparents' traditional Jewish piety and his father's
modernist socialism. He graduated as valedictorian of his class at
DeWitt Clinton High School and then majored in Classics at City
College of New York which he graduated from summa cum laude in
1924. Steinberg received his doctorate in philosophy from Columbia
University in 1928 and then entered the Jewish Theological
Seminary. In seminary, he was strongly influenced by Rabbi Mordecai
Kaplan (1881–1983), the founder of Reconstructionist Judaism. 
　　After five years in a pulpit in Indiana, he was invited by the
Seminary to assume the pulpit of Manhattan's Park Avenue Synagogue,
then a small congregation with a Reform orientation. In his sixteen
years at the congregation, he grew it from 120 to 750
families. 
　　While a disciple of Kaplan who considered himself a
Reconstructionist, Steinberg was critical of Kaplan's dismissal of
metaphysics. 
　　Steinberg's works included Basic Judaism, The Making of the
Modern Jews, and As A Driven Leaf (1939), a historical novel
revolving around the talmudic characters Elisha ben Abuyah and
Rabbi Akiba. In his final years, he began writing a series of
theological essays. This project, which he had hoped would conclude
in a book of theology, was cut short by his death at age 46.
