Community Heritage LecturesCo-Sponsored by the Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington The Foundation for Jewish Studies, Washington Hebrew Congregation, and Temple Sinai present: THE JEWISH STATE AFTER 60 YEARS: ITS IMPACT ON OUR PEOPLE WORLDWIDE April 15, 2008 at 7:30 pm with Rabbi Richard G. Hirsch When Theodore Herzl declared in 1897 that some day there would be a Jewish State, people laughed. Fifty years later, in November 1947, that prophecy came true and the State of Israel was born. Much has happened in the intervening years and Rabbi Richard Hirsch will be discussing the impact of the creation of Israel on the Jewish people and the world. Rabbi Hirsch is the Chairman of the Zionist General Council, a past President of the World Zionist Congress, and is considered the best known Zionist spokesman in the Reform movement. For a number of years he was the Founding Director of the Religious Action Center in Washington, where most of our nations civil rights legislation was drafted. Rabbi Hirsch was friend and supporter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. After Rabbi Hirschs presentation there will be an oneg and an opportunity to speak informally with him. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Foundation for Jewish Studies at 301-770-4787 or info@foundjs.org or visit www.foundjs.org. This program is sponsored by The Amram Scholar Series and is dedicated to the memory of Frank Schick.
