Dr. Georgette Bennett: Confronting Hate

The Church of the Redeemer

Join us at The Church of the Redeemer to hear Georgie Bennett discuss the biography of her husband, Confronting Hate.

In this biography, Gerald and Deborah Strober draw from original source materials and numerous interviews to detail the life and career of the esteemed Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, a seminal 20th century figure in interfaith relations in the US and around the world. From his position as Director of Interreligious Affairs at the American Jewish Committee, Rabbi Tanenbaum was deeply involved in the historic Vatican II Council, which promulgated a landmark encyclical on Catholic-Jewish relations. Rabbi Tanenbaum also was one of the few Jewish leaders who worked closely with Reverend Billy Graham and other evangelicals. He worked tirelessly as a civil rights activist and was active in the cause of Soviet Jewry, as well.

Confronting Hate details this esteemed career and his interactions with the likes of television legends Norman Lear, Don Hewitt, and Franco Zeffirelli; Jesse Jackson; Martin Luther King, Jr.; and several US presidents, from Dwight D. Eisenhower to George H.W. Bush. This book leaves no stone unturned in covering the public and private aspects of the life of “the human rights rabbi.” The authors bring to light the immense international influence that Rabbi Tanenbaum has even today, more than twenty-five years after his passing.

The Church of the Redeemer will be welcoming Rabbi Tanenbaum’s widow, Georgette Bennett as she addresses why Rabbi Tanenbaum’s moral leadership is tailor-made for this moment in our nation’s history. How do we live according to the Biblical commandment: Do not stand idly by? How do we resist with conscience? What does our faith compel us to do?
