Episode 44: Memory, Witness & Lessons From Elie Wiesel's Classroom - A Conversation With Ariel Burger

This month on The Growing Edge Podcast Parker and Carrie have a conversation with Ariel Burger, author, teacher and artist whose work integrates spirituality, the arts and strategies for social change. An Orthodox-trained rabbi, Ariel received his PhD in Jewish Studies and Conflict Resolution under Elie Wiesel. Together we explore topics from his book Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel's Classroom, his work as founding director and senior scholar of the Witness Institute, the nature of hope, navigating conflict and the powerful intersection of spirituality and art. We believe this conversation will inspire and offer compelling ideas ponder.

Hope is holding a creative tension between what is and what could and should be, each day doing something to narrow the distance between the two. —Parker J. Palmer
