On May 15 2016 Mr. Toborowsky returns to Temple Israel to present the first lecture in his new series: Abraham Lincoln and the Jews. He will discuss the relationships among Abraham Lincoln and his Jewish friends and acquaintances and how these connections may have influenced the direction of American history.
