Join us for an upcoming webinar exploring the lives and legacies of two remarkable American rabbis, Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver and his son, Rabbi Daniel Jeremy Silver.  While both men are widely remembered for their intellectual leadership and national influence, their enduring impact was rooted in service to community. Across generations, the Silvers exemplified a vision of the rabbinate that extended beyond the synagogue walls, engaging with civic life, education, social justice, interfaith relations, and the strengthening of Jewish communal institutions. Through their leadership in Cleveland and beyond, father and son helped shape not only Jewish life but also the broader communities they served, demonstrating how religious leadership can inspire public service, social responsibility, and lasting community engagement. As we explore their digitized collections, we gain insight into the values, relationships, and work that made both rabbis such influential builders of community.
