A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Shlomo Levin
The event was co-sponsored by Congregation Or Tzion
About the event:
Numerous times, the Torah commands us to help those in need. Is this also a statement of human rights? In this session, we’ll ask whether giving tzedakah is a fulfillment of human rights values or whether human rights are limited to abstract freedoms and charity is something we give out of kindness alone.
