The Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada is thrilled to announce that the 2022 Sol and Florence Kanee Distinguished Lecturer will be Jake Tapper. 

CNN Anchor and Chief Washington Correspondent, Mr. Tapper is the recipient of three Merriman Smith Memorial Awards from the White House Correspondents' Association for his work. He  was also part of a team that was awarded an Edward R. Murrow Award for Video: Breaking News for "Target bin Laden: The Death of Public Enemy #1." Mr. Tapper is also a best-selling author and has published both fiction and non-fiction works that have met with critical acclaim. His book, Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor and his reporting on the veterans and troops were cited when the Congressional Medal of Honor Society awarded him the "Tex" McCrary Award for Excellence in Journalism.

The 2022 Sol and Florence Kanee Distinguished Lecture will be held at 7 pm on  June 8, 2022 and will take place at the Congregation Shaarey Zedek Synagogue. Tickets at Eventbrite.ca or by contacting us.

The Jewish Heritage Centre has planned the 2022 Sol and Florence Kanee Distinguished Lecture as an in-person event at Congregation Shaarey Zedek Synagogue. However, the unfolding and volatile situation in Ukraine may prevent Jake Tapper from traveling to Winnipeg due to breaking news. Should this be the case, the event would still take place in-person for guests, with Mr. Tapper appearing live onscreen from Washington, DC to take questions from the audience.
