Timeline

1992

He died in 1992 of heart failure, at the age of 66, seven weeks before the birth of his son Joshua-Marc Tanenbaum. In 1993, his widow Dr. Bennett launched the Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum Foundation, which now operates as the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding.

1983

In 1983, Tanenbaum became director of International Affairs of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), where he focused on issues of human rights and humanitarian work.

1962

He was an advocate during the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) on behalf of what eventually emerged as Nostra aetate. The landmark document overturned a long tradition of hostility toward Jews and Judaism, including the charge that the Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus; affirmed the Jewish roots of Christianity; established a new policy of outreach in dialogue to Jews; and set out a new course for Catholic-Jewish relations.

He worked in various positions as a writer and editor, and for a time, he was the religion writer for Time magazine. In 1952, he became director of the Synagogue Council of America, which was formed to represent the combined voices of Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform Judaism in the United States for policy and intergroup relations. There, he forged contacts with Christian leaders, including televangelists and Greek Orthodox primates. Notably befriending Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., he became involved in national public affairs.

1925

Marc H. Tanenbaum (1925–1992) was a human rights and social justice activist and rabbi. He was known for building bridges with other faith communities to advance mutual understanding and co-operation and to eliminate entrenched stereotypes, particularly ones rooted in religious teachings.
