Join us for the Mark Rubin Memorial Lecture in Hate, Genocide, and Ethnic Cleansing.  

The speaker will be Dr. Mark Oppenheimer, the author of five books, including "Knocking on Heaven’s Door: American Religion in the Age of Counterculture" and "The Newish Jewish Encyclopedia." He was the religion columnist for The New York Times from 2010 to 2016 and has written for The New York Times Magazine, GQ, Mother Jones, The Nation, and The Believer, among other publications. The host of Tablet magazine’s podcast Unorthodox, Oppenheimer has taught at Stanford, Wellesley, and Yale, where since 2006 he has directed the Yale Journalism Initiative.  

His most recent book, "Squirrel Hill: The Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting and the Soul of a Neighborhood," about the antisemitic terror event that took place in Pittsburgh in 2018, will be the topic of this lecture.
