"It really was a special evening. I have heard Dr Kurtzer speak many times, and read various of his writings, and this was so impressive."
"Dr Yehuda Kurtzer's lecture last night was a tour de force covering so many aspects surrounding Jewish Pluralism. Dr Kurtzer clarified the concept of Jewish Pluralism giving us much food for thought and action."
