ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Judah Leon Magnes

Judah León Magnes was a man who lived a long time ago and he did very important things to help people. He was a Jewish rabbi who wanted to make sure that Jews and Arabs could be friends and live together peacefully.

He was born in America but he moved to Palestine which is a place far away where a lot of Jewish people used to live. He helped start a school called the Hebrew University of Jerusalem which helped people of all religions learn together.

He also worked hard to make sure that the Jewish people who lived in Palestine could have their own country and be safe. He believed that all people should be equal and that everyone should be kind to each other no matter what religion they were.

After Judah León Magnes died, people remember all the good things he did to help make the world a better place.
