Literary Festival/JLL--The Rebbe
|
Thursday, October 21
“[A]n outstanding biography of Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the seventh Lubavitcher rebbe. . . . This well-written presentation, based on exhaustive scholarship, will stand as the definitive statement about the life and times of a highly influential religious leader.” ―Publishers Weekly “The Rebbe … fills a considerable void in the biography of one of the towering religious figures of the 20th century…. I am grateful to the authors for a profoundly human biography that will hopefully spur a whole new literature on the rebbe as man rather than angel and as person rather than saint.” —Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, New York Jewish Week The Bernard Wexler Fund for Jewish History, established in 1996, supports an annual lecture that brings outstanding speakers, scholarly research and contemporary issues to the forefront of learning at the 16th Street J. Presented in partnership with the 16th Street J’s Leo & Anna Smilow Center for Jewish Living and Learning. This program is co-sponsored by Kesher Israel: The Georgetown Synagogue.
