7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
May 31, 2016

Jewish American Heritage Lecture at National Archives in partnership with the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington

Featuring Dr. Gary Zola, We Called Him Rabbi Abraham: Lincoln and American Jewry, a Documentary History

Tuesday, May 31, 2016, 7:00 p.m.

Dr. Gary P. Zola, a distinguished scholar of the American Jewish experience and an ordained rabbi, traces President Lincoln's fascinating connections to and legacy with Jewish Americans. Using newspaper clippings, letters, poems, and sermons - many never published before - Dr. Zola helps us understand why Lincoln was given the affectionate title "Rabbi" by America's small, but growing Jewish population.

Dr. Zola will be in conversation with Erin Carlson Mast, Executive Director at President Lincoln's Cottage. A book-signing follows the program.
Dr. Zola is the executive director of The Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives and Edward M. Ackerman Family Distinguished Professor of American Jewish Experience & Reform Jewish History at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati.
