Memory, madness, faith, friendship, language -- these were the lifelong preoccupations of survivor, witness, and Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel. But Wiesel was also a teacher and writer who left us a treasure trove of tales and moral teachings that we can apply to today's world. As we struggle with renewed questions of racial justice, hatred, power, and polarization - all against the backdrop of a global pandemic - what do Elie Wiesel's teachings tell us? How can they empower us to not only survive these challenging times, but make moral sense of them? Come and hear from one of Wiesel's closest students who is carrying on the legacy of his teacher. Registration Required.
