A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Michael Marmur

ABOUT THE EVENT:
In this class we will consider a debate in the Talmud concerning the limits of responsibility for the deeds of our fellow human beings, and how one of the greatest Jews of the twentieth century read and related to this debate. At stake is the question: when is it intrusive and disrespectful to get involved in your neighbor’s business, and when is it morally imperative?
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Rabbi Michael Marmur is Associate Professor of Jewish Theology at the Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem. He has published works on Abraham Joshua Heschel and American Jewish Thought, and is the Chair of the Board of Rabbis for Human Rights.
