Schulweis — that make Jewish wisdom more accessible, inclusive and relevant to today’s complicated world. Rabbi Schulweis was a longtime pulpit rabbi at Valley Beth Shalom in Encino, California, from 1970 until his passing in 2014, who made Judaism approachable and accessible. He believed that humanity could do divine work in the world, trying to make it a better place. He was a cofounder of the anti-genocide program Jewish World Watch, and said that Jews have a moral responsibility to help those who are suffering, wherever they are. He was also the founding Chair of the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, recognizing Christians who saved Jews from the Holocaust. His is a voice that we need now—to give us direction and hope, in an otherwise troubled time. Executive Produced by Sad Clown Productions and Mayim Bialik. Hosted by Rabbi Ari Averbach.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-11T06:17:29.344022+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/moral-courage-from-the-study-of-rabbi-harold-m-schulweis-7020786"},"episode":{"title":"A Conversation with Rabbi Elliot Dorff, Visiting Professor at UCLA School of Law and Professor of Jewish Theology at AJU in California, author and a bio-ethicist","slug":"a-conversation-with-rabbi-elliot-dorff-visiting-professor-at-ucla-school-of-law-and-professor-of-jewish-theology-at-aju-in-california-author-and-a-bio-ethicist","published_at":"2024-10-01T17:50:55+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/moral-courage-from-the-study-of-rabbi-harold-m-schulweis-7020786/a-conversation-with-rabbi-elliot-dorff-visiting-professor-at-ucla-school-of-law-and-professor-of-jewish-theology-at-aju-in-california-author-and-a-bio-ethicist","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/moral-courage-from-the-study-of-rabbi-harold-m-schulweis-7020786","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/39e3e237","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/39e3e237/6ee0ea6d.mp3","summary":"Rabbi Elliot N.
