Elliot Ratzman

I was very insipered and captivated by Elliot Ratzman's lecture. I have always learned that charity, or tzedukah is a big part of our religion. I liked learning about the connection it had to judaism and history.
Ratzman's lecture illustrated the aspect of humanity present in judaism. that is something that i am very proud of and appreciate. I found the connection between G-d and humans and us and the unknown one to be powerful and relateable.
I also enjoyed learning about the views and ideas of Levinas, Peter Singer, and Hillel Cook. These important figures exemplified the ideals that Ratzman spoke about.
