Episode 21 - Rabbi Burton L. Visotzky

This week I am honoured to introduce one of the most humble, disciplined and committed person I have met in recent years. He came and sat on a table that my sister and I were sitting at in Merrimack College, North Andover, MA. His conversation with us and humble demeanor couldn't tell that he was a highly accomplished Rabbi who was the winner of the 2012 Goldziher Prize, would present the 2014 Goldziher Lecture on, "From Cairo to Qatar, Oman and Beyond: Jewish-Muslim Dialogue in the U.S. and Internationally."

I do not remember the exact words but at the podium he said something on these lines that don't just sit, plan and discuss, go out and do something, "go feed the hungry." His whole speech was fascinating. And I am happy that he remembered me after almost more than 3 years when I met him at a conference of Sister Hood of Salam-Shalom in New Jersey and agreed to have this conversation.
