Maggie Haberman, White House Correspondent for The New York Times, spoke to a capacity crowd, both in-person at Temple and online, for the 59th Annual Hilda Vallin Feigenbaum Memorial Foundation Lecture!
Ms. Haberman, a Pulitzer Prize winning author and journalist, spoke on the current political landscape, the upcoming election cycle, and the relationship between government and the media.
The Feigenbaum Lecture continues to be one of the most looked forward to events in our greater community, as it has brought world leaders in politics, journalism, culture, and Jewish life to Pittsfield to share experiences and insight with our audience. This series was established in 1967 by Drs. Armand and Donald Feigenbaum (both of blessed memory) as a living tribute to their mother, and we are happy and honored to continue this tradition and legacy.
Our special thanks go out to the members of the Feigenbaum Lecture Committee who work year-round to ensure the success of this event, as well as Sherry and Dave in the Temple office for all of their work in making this event possible!
