Madness.  We all feel the madness of our time. How can it be that at the Newton Public library, groups of Newton citizens shout at each other, locked in mutual hate? How can it be that students at Columbia have to hear encampments where they can hear from their bedrooms "We love Hamas" and "Burn Tel Aviv to the ground" night after night—and the administration lets this happen, hate unfiltered? How can it be that graduation ceremonies are interrupted by hate? How can it be that Jews feel so abandoned by so many? How can it be that Israel at 75 was (while it had been a tough year with the protests over judicial reform) basically robust and promising, while Israel at 76 feels so very different?  Madness was a big theme of Elie Wiesel. Tomorrow we are going to study a number of Hasidic parables that Elie Wiesel taught at Boston University that were reported in Ariel Burger's book called Witness. Elie Wiesel brought these parables to shed light on the madness of the 1930s and 1940s.  What light do these parables shed on the madness of our own time—the universities, libraries, schools, and neighbors we used to love that we no longer recognize? Shabbat Shalom.

Today we are talking with Ariel Burger – author of the book Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel's Classroom. Ariel is a writer, an artist, and teacher whose work integrates education, spirituality, the arts and strategies for social change. He was a lifelong student of Elie Wiesel, the esteemed Nobel Peace Prize Winner who most famously authored the memoir Night. In this conversation, Ariel and Rachael talk about the integration of creativity into stories from the past, about memory as an educational tool, and the difference of engaging in our world as a witness versus a spectator.

This month on The Growing Edge podcast. Parker and Carrie talk 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 Ph.D. in Jewish Studies and Conflict Resolution under Elie Wiesel. We explore topics from Ariel's 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 intersection of spirituality and art. It's a conversation that stimulates reflection and inspires hope.

My guest today is Ariel Burger: scholar, artist, poet, musician, rabbi, professor, nonprofit leader, and former student of Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel.Ariel is an incredibly playful, creative, and devoted servant of the public good. He is the author of Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel's Classroom. Elie Wiesel was perhaps one of the most important voices for the power of memory and witness to nourish and protect the parts of our lives that are most important for who we are as a species. His work stands as a warning about who we become if we are unwilling to face the fears and underlying forces that shape us, and also a celebration of who we can become if we're willing to stand in witness.Through The Witness Institute, Ariel carries on that lineage of helping people remember where we come from and what we've been through. His work awakens us to generations of suffering and also invites us to receive the generations of gifts and heirlooms we've inherited. It's from this stance that we can enter true boundary-crossing dialogue with the capacity to learn, collaborate and grow as opposed to the impulse to defeat, dominate, and destroy.I for one want to live in the kind of world that Ariel and his colleagues, mentors, students, and community members are helping to imagine for us.

Martin Shaw talks to rabbi, artist and author Dr. Ariel Burger, who reminds us that 'there are certain kinds of madness that really do constitute sanity in a world gone mad.' Ariel explains that this has been a theme in many of the Jewish mystical teachings that have inspired him, and he and Martin delve into how ancient stories help us to think about what is missing from the current conversation. They suggest that in times like these we must be open to the marginal and pay close attention to the periphery. When the conversation turns towards the current events in Gaza, Ariel asks that we consider one question: 'Is what you're reading in the news going to help the peacemakers or not?'

We are excited to invite you to participate in a unique conversation with Rabbi Ariel Burger and Cleary Vaughan-Lee about the power of being a witness in these tumultuous times. Some questions we will be collectively holding include: How do stories shape how we witness, and how does witnessing shape the stories we live by? What does it mean to be an active witness, and how can witnessing be a transformative act? What do we need to unravel within ourselves to become a powerful witness? What are we becoming and what are we unbecoming? What wakes us up, and what do we do when we wake up?   Rabbi Ariel Burger is a celebrated author, teacher, and artist.  He is the founding director and senior scholar of The Witness Institute, a new project inspired by the life and legacy of Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel to empower emerging leaders to become morally powered people who will influence their communities.  A lifelong student of Professor Wiesel, Ariel served as his Teaching Fellow from 2003-2008, after which he directed education initiatives at Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston. As a Covenant Foundation grantee, Ariel develops cutting-edge arts and educational programming for adults, facilitates workshops for educators, consults to non-profits, and serves as scholar/artist-in-residence for institutions around the U.S. Rabbi Burger questioned everything in search of an answer, "but it wasn’t until I met Professor Wiesel that I realized that questioning is the answer. He helped guide me to where I am today –  a teacher, artist, speaker, spiritual healer, and now the author of a memoir of the time we spent together." Rabbi Burger notes that his mission "is to help counter superficiality with nuance, to replace estrangement with encounter, and to empower people to be creative and kind citizens of the world."  Cleary Vaughan-Lee is mother, writer, and executive director of the Global Oneness Project, a free multimedia education platform which provides award-winning films, photography, and essays with companion curricula for elementary to university classrooms. The project aims to plant seeds of resilience, empathy, and a sacred relationship to our planet in education. She launched the education arm of the organization and has developed more than 70 lesson plans to accompany the Project’s films, photo essays, and articles. She is particularly interested in integrating a humanistic lens with universal values into educational content, asking local to global questions about culture and the environment. A regular contributor to Education Week, PBS, Share My Lesson, and TED Ed, Cleary documents ways digital storytelling can be used in the classroom, highlighting teacher and student voices. She conducts workshops across the country and presents at regional, national, and international conferences. Join us in conversation with these keen witnesses to history, wise teachers, and powerful storytellers! The conversation will be held by artists and gifted space-holders Makala Kozo Hattori and Anne Veh.

Lessons from Elie Wiesel's Classroom. After hearing from Nazis death camp survivors during the recent 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz, how could anyone be a Holocaust denier? “Listening to a witness, makes you a witness.”—Elie Wiesel

Once, there lived amongst us a man with the stature of a prophet, a man with the moral vision of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. His name was Elie Wiesel, and he taught for years just a few miles from here at Boston University. In his book Witness, which is about Elie Wiesel’s teaching at BU, Ariel Burger, his student for 25 years, tells a story that Elie Wiesel shared in class. The story concerned a man named Isaac Babel, who was both a Jew and a lieutenant in the Russian cavalry. That cavalry was a fierce fighting force conquering a lot of areas where Jews used to live in the Pale of Settlement. Isaac Babel himself had a reputation for being a fierce, even bloodthirsty, fighter. He embodies this enigma. He is Jewish. And at the same a Russian military man who is about to conquer Jewish towns.

What kind of education makes for a better world? Holocaust survivor and author Elie Wiesel grappled with this question all his life, as we find out from his former student, Rabbi Ariel Burger. And, we hear from Dr Paul Burgis, a principal of a faith-based school in Sydney, on what he thinks religion can add to education.

Voice for the Voiceless is a podcast produced campers from Bogrim (going to 9th grade). In the podcast, which take place as part of the Jewish studies in camp Ramah in the Berkshires, the campers learn and raise awareness for different 'Voiceless' groups and individuals. The story of the exodus, the redemption from slavery, is an essential story of the Jewish heritage. This is not only an historic story, but a commandment for us, as Jews, to open our eyes for those who suffer oppression. The different episodes of Voice for the Voiceless deals with issues from our surrounding and reach out for those who struggle to express the oppression they are going through.

Rabbi Ariel Burger stops by Radio Kol Ramah to introduce us to his new book "Witness: Lessons from Elie Weisel's classroom".

Burger conoció a Wiesel a los 15 años de edad y fuesu amigo, alumno y asistente. El libro se titula Witness (Testigo) y fue publicado en el2018. Eliezer Wiesel 30 de septiembre de 1928 - 2 de julio de 2016) fueun escritor estadounidense de origen ruman,profesor, activista político, Premio Nobel, y sobreviviente del holocausto que escribió 57 libros, incluyendo Night, un trabajo basado en sus experiencias como prisionero judío en los campos de concentración de Auschwitz y Buchenwald. La frase dice: “Hegel dijo que las tragedias reales no son el conflicto entre el bien y el mal; Son conflictos entre dos derechos. Y hay una maravillosa enseñanza hasídica sobre eso quedice que cuando la gente no está de acuerdo,y cada uno jala hacia su lado, según su propia opinión, se crea un espacio entre ellos. Eneste espacio, se pueden crear mundos, siempre que los antagonistas no llenen ese espacio con demasiadas palabras. Es solo porque esas dos personas no están de acuerdo que existe o se crea tal espacio;Si estuvieran allí para mantener posiciones idénticas, no habría espacio para la innovación. En otras palabras, el conflicto puede ser bueno, si se hace bien”.

We will explore seminal writings of the great spiritual master Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772-1810), in which he offers frameworks for spiritual understanding and practical advice for dealing with the extremes of the human condition. Self-transcendence, prayer, friendship, and faith are some of the themes we will encounter as we study the work of this increasingly relevant personality.

Rabbi, Artist, Musician Ariel Burger discusses his nearly lifelong relationship with Elie Weisel—as a sensitive, searching teenager navigating a life of Talmud and comic books; an undergraduate jostling between college and rabbinical studies; as his Teaching Assistant while pursuing a doctorate on an approach to conflict resolution based on Hasidic spirituality; and finally as a student-colleague and teacher-artist forging his own pathways of activism, identity, and the ethics and metaphysics of memory. He muses on Weisel’s highly eclectic, at times almost mystical, always insistently human approach to teaching and learning. He relates some of the powerful experiences — the “karmic burdens,” spiritual transformations, collective epiphanies, and personal paths to healing — he witnessed in the BU course Wiesel taught for 40 years. (Also: the High Holidays are coming and I can’t stop thinking about what it means that I can’t stop thinking about it.)
