People are afraid to take clear positions on moral issues, says this Harvard Chabbad rabbi
Israel: State of a Nation
Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi, head of Harvard Chabad, discusses the challenge college students face in taking clear stances on moral issues. He emphasizes the importance of achieving moral clarity and suggests that education should empower individuals to confidently express their convictions, even at the risk of social costs such as losing friends. Rabbi Zarchi notes that many students at Harvard and beyond are hesitant to voice firm opinions due to fear of social repercussions, which he believes is a significant issue in contemporary discourse on morality.
