What if reading Torah could make us more humble, responsible, and courageous? In this episode, Dean of Jewish Studies Tamar Rabinowitz explains how slowing down, listening deeply, and engaging multiple voices in dialogue can shape a person’s character as much as their intellect. Her teaching emphasizes humility, responsibility, and moral courage—qualities urgently needed in a world of quick takes and easy answers.
Reading List: From Consumption to Production: Equipping Students to Create Torah by Tamar Rabinowitz for The Lookstein Center
Episode launch date: October 6, 2025 (due to Sukkot)
