| WELCOME TO READING RABBI JACOBS |
|
The public meeting to mark the 50th Anniversary of the publication of WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE was held on December 2nd 2007 and was a resounding success with over 250 people present. For transcripts please visit www.louisjacobs.co.uk.
The Yharzeit for Rabbi Jacobs was commemorated on June 20th 2007 at the New London Synagogue. Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove paid a tribute to Rabbi Jacobs and Rabbi Professor Marc Saperstein lectured on Jewish Preaching on Social Justice. Please go to www.louisjacobs.org for transcripts.
A meeting was held on May 14th at the invitation of the Society for Jewish Study at the London Jewish Cultural Centre, Ivy House, NW11. Dr Joanna Weinberg, Catherine Lewis fellow at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, completed the reading of Rabbinic Thought in the Talmud
This site is dedicated to providing co-ordination, an open forum and feedback to the Reading Rabbi Jacobs project.
This is the brainchild of Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg who in conjunction with Rabbi Reuven Hammer have instigated a programme centred around Rabbi Jacobs publications.
The Siyyum for the completion of the reading of A JEWISH THEOLOGY was held on Feb 10th in London and Jerusalem. Visit FORUM for discussion details and to participate.
The following ReadingRabbiJacobs meeting was held on Sunday March 4th at 11.00am at Jewish Book Week. Dr Harry Freedman and Professor Michael Alpert led a discussion on God, Torah, Israel.
The Reading started on November 4th with a Melaveh Malkah at the New London Syngagogue and in Jerusalem and Chicago. Almost 150 people attended a stimulating and enjoyable project launch. The first Reading was WE HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE and, for those already familiar with this work, BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT.
The meetings on December 3rd heard talks from Dr. NORMAN SOLOMON in London and Professor MICHAEL ROSENAK in Jerusalem. See the Forum (please register to view) for details of the discussions.
