10
Minutes of Torah
Through
an exciting partnership with the Department of Lifelong Jewish
Learning at the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), The Center
for Holocaust and Humanity Education has produced 26 columns
relating to the general topic of Holocaust and Humanity.
Written by Dr. Racelle Weiman and Shoshanna Lockshin, these
columns explore powerful stories and themes from the Holocaust,
and their contemporary messages.
Inspired by the words of Rabbi Eric Yoffie-"Who among
us is so busy that he cannot spend 10 minutes a day in the
study of a Jewish text?"-each column conveys a thought-provoking
message that can be read in only ten minutes.
