Elie Wiesel – The Greatness of Rabbi Eliezer Ben

When Rabbi Eliezer the Great, a revered sage, saw corruption and evil in Sanhedrin , the Jewish court, he single-handedly staged a protest and was excommunicated. Professor Wiesel uses his story as a jumping-off point for a discussion of good and evil, and the responsibility we all have to take action when needed. He traces the history of this ethical mandate from the biblical story of Adam and Eve through the Holocaust to today’s human rights and social justice movements around the world.
