Teaching & Learning from the Heart in Troubled Times
"The current moment calls for moral ferocity. We should not sleep well
at night when we know others are suffering. We need to raise our voices
with clarity and channel our anger into protest and resistance. Ferocity
itself, though, holds danger. Let's not forget that some of the worst
perpetrators of evil have often claimed to act in the name of the good,
or God, or the national interest, or a future utopia. By claiming the
moral high ground, and labeling our opponents misguided, we run the risk
of doing great harm in the name of good. I suggest that we balance our
moral ferocity with humility and tenderness." Rabbi Ariel Burger, an
author, artist and long-time student and friend of Elie Wiesel shares
more in this timely essay.
