About the Rabbi Albert T. Bilgray Lectureship

The Albert T. Bilgray Lectureship is a joint project, sponsored by The University of Arizona Arizona
Center for Judaic Studies and Temple Emanu-EL. It was created in 1985 to honor Albert T. Bilgray,
Rabbi Emeritus at Temple Emanu-El and Professor Emeritus at The University of Arizona. In the
course of more than a quarter century, Bilgray created and helped develop two programs at the
University: Judaic Studies and Religious Studies. This Lectureship seeks to perpetuate two primary
emphases of Bilgray's career through both a popular as well as an academic presentation on Jewish
life and literature.
