Murray Toborowsky is an experienced history teacher whose passion is researching and lecturing on the impact of Jews on American History.

He will address such questions as:

1. Why were the Jews the first to offer prayers for Lincoln after his passing?
2. Who was the Jewish doctor that was the first to attend Lincoln after he was shot?
3. What Jewish friend met Lincoln’s body in Springfield on his arrival from Washington?

5. Who was the famous rabbi that gave eulogy for Lincoln in Washington?

We hope you can join us for this interesting and informative presentation.
