ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Elie Wiesel, who passed away July 2, 2016, was a Holocaust witness, human rights activist, author, and confidant of presidents and prime ministers. He was also a teacher, who mentored thousands of students to become rabbis, scholars, and activists in their own rights. One of his closest students, Rabbi Dr. Ariel Burger, author of Witness: lessons from Elie Wiesel’s Classroom (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, November, 2018), will share his perspective on Wiesel’s impact, through personal stories and larger reflections.
