On the Road with Rabbi Steinsaltz

Hosted By: Orange County Community Scholar Program (CSP)

Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz is internationally regarded as one of the most brilliant and influential rabbis of our time. He has been lauded by Time magazine as a “once-in-a-millennium scholar” and by Ted Koppel of Night Line as “one of the very few wise men that I’ve ever met.”

Arthur Kurzweil—himself a Jewish scholar, author, teacher, and publisher—was a disciple of Rabbi Steinsaltz for over 25 years, and served as the Rabbi’s designated chauffer in the United States. While stuck in countless traffic jams and attending the Rabbi’s lectures at universities, government agencies, synagogues, and seminars, Arthur had the rare opportunity of personally learning from his inspired teacher and has become intimately familiar with the Rabbi’s wisdom and teachings. Arthur Kurzweil will share what he learned from 25 Years of pre-dawn car trips, mind-blowing encounters, and inspiring conversations with a man of wisdom.
