The International Living Legacy Conference, which is currently being held in Washington, DC, hosted by American Friends of Lubavitch-Chabad and celebrating the 120th birthday of the Rebbe, featured an academic event on Wednesday.
The lectures at the Library of Congress explored the concept of enduring leadership, as the world marks the years since the Rebbe initiated his singular energetic efforts to reinvigorate a shattered post-Holocaust World Jewry.
This academic event, typically presented by a leading scholar and rabbinical figure, has long become widely sought after material which helps understand the intellectual underpinnings of leadership and its practical application to our time.
Featured speakers were:
Marcus Solomon, a rabbi, solicitor, and a justice of the Supreme Court of Western Australia. He is the first orthodox rabbi to serve as a Supreme Court justice in Australia.
Naftali Loewenthal, professor in the Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies at University College London, and author of “Communicating the Infinite: The Emergence of the Habad School” (1990), an important work on the scholarship of Chassidim.
Rabbi Yossi New, Director of Chabad of Georgia and spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Tefillah in Atlanta.
