Let My People Know: Remembering Luminary Adin Steinsaltz with his Famed Student Rabbi Pinchas Allouche

“Let My People Know”: Remembering Luminary Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz

10am PDT

Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, who unlocked for the millions of people the impenetrable Jewish texts with his translation of the canon of Jewish literature, including the bible and the Babylonian Talmud and Mishna, became a luminary of Judaism who made our Torah accessible for all.

On the occasion of his shloshim (first 30 days following his death), we are privileged to host Rabbi Pinchas Allouche, Rabbi Steinsaltz’s talmid muvhak, the closest of all his students, in conversation with Rabbi Dr. Bradley Shavit Artson, Dean of AJU’s Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, to share his incredible legacy.

We encourage everyone to watch the presentation live. It will not be available to view as we are currently working behind the scenes to improve the user experience.
