When and why was Tanenbaum founded?
Tanenbaum was founded at the end of 1992, following the untimely death of Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum, a pioneer in interfaith dialogue and human rights. His widow, Dr. Georgette Bennett, family and friends came together to start an organization that would continue pursuing his vision of a world where the innate humanity of each and every one of us is always recognized, and where difference is not an excuse for hatred or violence.
