Leon Cebon Memorial Lectures
| In 2003 Leon Cebon, in his capacity as a member of the Board of Management of the Congregation, approached our Rabbi and the Board of Management about arranging lectures for the Congregation and for the community at large. There were 6 Lectures that year. In 2004 the first Lecture took place just prior to Leon's sudden passing. After Leon's passing, the Board of Management decided to continue holding the lectures and to name them the Leon Cebon Memorial Lectures in Leon's memory.
These lectures cover a wide range of subjects ranging from Jewish History, Kabbala and studies in Tanach, all areas of Leon's broad Jewish knowledge. |
