Remembering the Liberation of Auschwitz, an article by Rabbi Israel Zoberman was inserted in the Congressional Record by Congresswoman Jen Kiggans in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The article focuses on a book written by Marc Saperstein, a distinguished rabbi, author, and scholar, titled Agony in the Pulpit: Jewish Preaching in Response to Nazi Persecution and Mass Murder, 1933-1945. Rabbi Zoberman draws attention to the relevance of the book today, amidst a surge of antisemitism, calling upon readers to learn from history, speak up, and act out before it’s too late.

A second article, Israel at 78, was inserted in the Congressional Record by Congresswoman Jen Kiggans in honor of Israel Independence Day. The article begins, “The world’s only Jewish state celebrates its 78th anniversary in the shadow of existential war with Iran and its proxies, fighting along its great American partner with shared values and interests.”

Rabbi Dr. Israel Zoberman is the founder and spiritual leader of Temple Lev Tikvah, a reform synagogue in Virginia Beach, as well as Honorary Senior Rabbi Scholar at Eastern Shore Chapel.
