Shabbat Eve Service / Scholar-in-Residence Gary Zola, Profiles in American Courage

Friday, February 19, 2021 7 Adar 5781

7:00 PM - 8:30 PMSanctuary

The CEEBJ Rabbi Dudley Weinberg Memorial Scholar-in-Residence Weekend
Featuring Dr. Gary P. Zola, Scholar-in-Residence
The American Jewish Experience, February 19-21, 2021

Dr. Gary P. Zola will be joining us as our Scholar-in-Residence for a weekend of exciting presentations, all offered through Zoom and on all of our platforms. Rabbi Gary P. Zola, Ph.D. is the Executive Director of the Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives, and he is the Edward M. Ackerman Family Distinguished Professor of the American Jewish Experience and Reform Jewish History of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati, Ohio.

At our Kabbalat Shabbat Eve service on Friday, February 19, at 7:00 pm (note special start time), Dr. Zola’s topic will be Profiles in American Jewish Courage. The unfolding legacy of any North American congregation, organization, or association, offers the opportunity to reflect on the meaning of historical milestones and significant anniversaries.

Dr. Zola will illustrate how the American Jewish past invariably shapes our contemporary circumstances. He will focus on the biographies of three little known but genuinely fascinating American Jews. These “case studies” constitute genuine examples of American Jewish courage. Dr. Zola will transform these biographies into an inspiring lesson that sheds light not only on the significance of local Jewish history but also on the lofty meaning of the American Jewish experience itself.
