Richard Siegel (z"l) relished the opportunity to learn something new or important, especially when in the company of friends. To commemorate Richard and his love of learning, ChaiVillageLA will present the Third Annual Richard Siegel Memorial Program, one that will explore some of Judaism's most interesting questions.




This thought-provoking virtual program will feature Rabbi Arthur Green in conversation with Dr. Judith Rosenbaum. Rabbi Green is one of the country's most important Jewish theologians and is a renowned scholar of Jewish mysticism.  Dr. Rosenbaum, Executive Director of the Jewish Women's Archive, will speak with Rabbi Green about his newest book, Judaism for the World: Reflections of God, Life, and Love.  Both of them knew and loved Richard.

The program will be introduced by Rabbi Zoë Klein Miles of Temple Isaiah. Participants will have an opportunity to pose questions to the speakers. Rabbi Laura Geller, Rabbi Emerita of Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills, will provide concluding remarks.
