The Jewish Revolution in San Francisco:
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the Lisa Kampner Hebrew Academy

Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, one of the most dedicated and widely revered prime ministers of Israel, visited San Francisco on two occasions to help the Lisa Kampner Hebrew Academy. On one such visit, while addressing an audience of 800 secular Jews at the Hyatt Regency, Rabin rhetorically asked why, he, a socialist, was here to help an Orthodox rabbi. The Prime Minister affirmed his support, stating that he helped Rabbi Lipner in the past, was pleased to help him now, and would help him in the future, because he believed in the importance of Jewish education. True to his word, Rabin worked tirelessly on behalf of the school by speaking at banquets and holding press conferences. In addition, Rabin delivered the keynote speech at the International Conference of the Institute for Jewish Medical Ethics of the Lisa Kampner Hebrew Academy held in Tel Aviv during the Institute’s Medical Mission to Israel.
