Congregation Or Hadash established the Tillie and Max Stein Family Lecture on modern Israel and modern Jewish history in 2013 at the request of Tillie Stein (z'l) to provide our congregational members an opportunity for Jewish and Israel learning. The lectures commemorate Tillie and Max Steins’ unbending commitment to combining their Jewish values, love for the Jewish people and Israel with learning. With joyful engagement, they passed these beliefs to their children, grandchildren and their families.

Previous Tillie and Max Stein Family Lectures include:

Stein Lecture Series of the Emory Institute for the Study of Modern Israel (ISMI)

Established at the end of 1997 as the first lecture series of the Emory Institute for the Study of Modern Israel, the Max K. and Mathilda Wertheim Stein Lecture Series on Modern Jewish and Israeli History, named after Max and Tillie Stein, focuses on Mrs. Stein's decade-long project of assembling information about German Jewish social history of the 19th and 20th centuries. It aims to associate Emory faculty, students, and staff with current scholarship dealing with modern European Jewish history, Zionism, the yishuv, and aspects of modern Israeli society, history, and culture.
