Rabbi David Ellenson's Lecture at Christopher Newport University

Friday, October 4, 2002

Rabbi David Ellenson, was invited to Christopher Newport College to speak on "American Judaism" in conjunction with his inauguration as the eighth president and CEO of Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion on Sunday, October 13, 2002.  His first cousin, Harron Ellenson of Boston, brought this to our attention, and as a result several of his NNHS classmates were able to attend. 
Here are some images of the proceedings as captured by Chip Clark, photographer for the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History.
