From 1957, he headed the department of education of Dropsie College (now *Dropsie University) in Philadelphia, with the rank of professor from 1962. Ben-Horin wrote Max Nordau: Philosopher of Human Solidarity (1956) and Common Faith – Uncommon People (1970). Together with Judah *Pilch he coedited Judaism and the Jewish School (1966).
