Olan sermon recording on open reel tape

Reel-to-reel tape of Rabbi Olan’s sermon “Justice Comes First,” November 19, 1961, as exhibited at Bridwell Library in 2014.

Rabbi Olan’s hard-hitting words make even more impact when they are heard being delivered in his distinctive, forceful style. The sound recordings on this tape have been digitized and posted to the internet for public use thanks to the generosity of supportive donors and the technical expertise of Southern Methodist University’s Norwick Center for Digital Solutions.
