The speaker for the 2010 Connie Spear Birnbaum Memorial Lecture, to be held at Congregation Beth El-Atereth Israel in Newton, Rabbi Weil's topic will be "After the Crash: The Challenge of Rebuilding an American Jewry As a True 'Light Unto the Nations'". Rabbi Steven Weil is the newly-installed Executive Vice President of the Orthodox Union, effective July 1, 2009. Rabbi Weil comes to the OU from his position as Senior Rabbi of Beth Jacob Congregation of Beverly Hills, which is the largest Orthodox congregation outside the metropolitan New York area. Rabbi Weil became involved in building relationships with community leaders and was devoted to many communal activities in Los Angeles. He was invited by then President Bush and Vice President Cheney to deliver the invocation for the President’s 2004 National Campaign Dinner.
