, he said: ”For a religion in a scientific age to have meaning we have to strip it of its mythology.” He published opinion pieces in the Jewish Exponent, The Inquirer, and elsewhere and said in a 1997 Inquirer article: “The function of a Jew is to be cocreator, with God, of the world. The task of the human being is to perfect the world, using the tools God gives us.”
In his memory, the congregation at Keneseth Israel established the Rabbi Simeon Maslin KI Distinguished Speakers Fund. Originally interested in working in government, he was inspired at Penn to act on his religious inclinations and was ordained in 1957 at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati. He later received a doctorate of ministry from Chicago Theological Seminary.
