Leon Cebon Memorial Lectures
|
In 2003, in his capacity as a member of the Board of Management of the Congregation, Leon Cebon, of blessed memory, approached our Rabbi and the Board of Management about arranging lectures for the Congregation and for the community at large. There were six lectures held that year. In 2004, the first lecture took place just prior to Leon's sudden passing. Following 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, from Jewish History, Kabbalah and studies in Tanach and Talmud to, most recently, comparative studies of halachah and contemporary medicine, science and Australian legal practice, all areas of Leon's broad Jewish interest. Leon attended Shiurim at Kew Shule and Monash and Melbourne Universities in order to satisfy his great thirst for Jewish knowledge and to fulfill the Mitzvah of studying Torah. By attending our Leon Cebon Memorial Lectures, you will be honouring Leon’s memory while considerably enriching your own life.
