Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel’s Classroom
by Ariel Burger

at the home of Sue & Harris Hochberg

The world remembers Elie Wiesel—Nobel laureate, activist, and author of more than forty books, including Oprah’s Book Club selection Night—as a great humanist. He passed away in July 2016.
Ariel Burger first met Elie Wiesel at age fifteen. They studied together and taught together. Witness chronicles the intimate conversations between these two men over decades, as Burger sought counsel on matters of intellect, spirituality, and faith, while navigating his own personal journey from boyhood to manhood, from student and assistant to rabbi and, in time, teacher.
In this profoundly hopeful, thought-provoking, and inspiring book, Burger takes us into Elie Wiesel’s classroom, where the art of listening and storytelling conspire to keep memory alive. As Wiesel’s teaching assistant, Burger gives us a front-row seat witnessing these remarkable exchanges in and out of the classroom. The act of listening, of sharing these stories, makes of us, the readers, witnesses. (Amazon)

Conversations Unpacking Whiteness, A 5 Week Course

Conversations Unpacking Whiteness
A 5 Week Course
February 23, March 1, 8, 15 and 22
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
at Temple Emmanuel
“If you are white, then like most of us, you may not fully see our own whiteness. With video clips, articles, small and large group activities, Conversations Unpacking Whiteness brings people together in a safe setting to see how this came to be the case.
Guided by two facilitators, we explore aspects of our culture that prevent us from seeing ourselves and people of color without deeply baked distortions.”
The course is free. Advance registration is required.
