On the latest episode of “Interfaith Matters,” host Hannah Meholick talks with Dr. Georgette Bennett, founder and president of the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding, about a newly-released biography of Dr. Bennett’s late husband, the Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum.
Written by Gerald and Deborah Strober, “Confronting Hate: The Untold Story of the Rabbi Who Stood Up for Human Rights, Racial Justice, and Religious Reconciliation” details the life and career of the esteemed Rabbi, a seminal 20th century figure in interfaith relations in the US and around the world. Most importantly, the book provides a roadmap for moral leadership today as well as a blueprint for religious resistance against the rising incidence of hatred in our nation.
Dr. Bennett’s reflections on her husband and their marriage include a moving account of their first meetings, and their shared life of social justice activism, including their productive involvement with the Rev. Billy Graham.
