Rabbi Weiss Wows His Audience

On Thursday 12th December, Immanuel was privileged to host Rabbi Asher Weiss from Jerusalem. Rabbi Weiss, a world-renowned Torah scholar and Halachic expert, addressed a select group of pupils in the Beit Knesset, sharing his passion for Torah learning with his audience and citing an inspiring story of his father and the Rebbe of Sanz. The story relates how, during 11 months of torture in Auschwitz, the two friends kept each other going through Torah study despite all the evil they were faced with on a daily basis. Rabbi Weiss explained how proud we should be of our tradition and how we should continue to uphold our role as the ‘People of the Book’, as Torah study is integral to Jewish survival, before taking some questions from the students. In the short time that he was at the College, Rabbi Weiss managed to convey a message of how our ancient tradition and text is still relevant and alive in modern times. Students and staff are thankful to Family Moshal for organising this spectacular opportunity.
