Albert H. Friedlander: Comprehension, Compassion and Conciliation
This conference is the first to illuminate the legacy of Rabbi Dr Albert H. Friedlander z”l (1927-2004). Friedlander was a pioneer in Jewish-German interfaith dialogue and institutional cooperation, an early anthologist of Holocaust literature, a civil rights activist, and an ecumenical figure who sought to build bridges with contemporaries outside of Judaism, including religious leaders such as the Dalai Lama. He wrote the definitive biography of Rabbi Dr Leo Baeck, liturgy that sought to balance acute tensions between the universal and particular and he embraced the visual and performing arts, humour and the vernacular.
