Synopsis

Judah Leon Magnes (1877-1948) was a prominent Reform rabbi in both the United States and the British Mandate of Palestine. He is best remembered as a leader in the pacifist movement of the World War I period and as one of the most widely recognized voices of 20th century American Reform Judaism. Memorializing his passing, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations wrote of Magnes that he was 'one of the most distinguished rabbis of our age, a son of the Hebrew Union College, a former rabbi of Temple Emanu-El, New York, the founder and first chancellor of the Hebrew University, the leader of the movement for good will between Jews and Arabs in Palestine, a man of prophetic stature by whose life and works the traditions of the rabbinate, as well as the spiritual traditions of all mankind were enriched.'
