Is this also a statement of human rights? In this session we’ll ask whether giving tzedakah is a fulfillment of human rights values, or whether human rights are limited to abstract freedoms and charity is something we give out of kindness alone.About the Speaker: Shlomo Levin received ordination from Yeshivat Hamivtar in Israel and the Israeli Chief Rabbinate. For 15 years he served as a Rabbi at various pulpits in the United States. In 2022 he received a master’s degree in International Law and Human Rights. Now he works for a non-profit organization he started called the Human Rights Haggadah, which aims to become a central hub for education and respectful discussion of human rights issues as they pertain in particular to Israel and the Jewish community.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rgXhZfTlnTjybGe2Y8VJvw1nIGugVMdj7wEKsMGYlrk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI5ODEyLzE2NTEw/Nzg1NjAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
