Arik Ascherman - Universal Human Rights: You Can Be a Force for Justice pdxjustice Media Productions 2018-11-16 | Wholistic Peace Institute lecture and discussion. November 14, 2018. Portland, Oregon. Torat Tzedek (Torah of Justice) is an Israeli human rights NGO founded in September 2017 by Rabbi Arik Ascherman, who led Rabbis for Human Rights for 21 years.Rabbi Ascherman's niche through the years has been to work for universal human rights as a Jewish religious obligation, and to present the foundation for this obligation in Jewish sources. Rather than remaining behind a desk, he has always believed that in the human rights field we must have one foot in the grass roots, and the other among the decision and opinion makers. The greatest successes of the organizations he has worked with have been result of field work that gave us knowledge and a moral voice when we went to the court, the Knesset, the public, the international community and/or the press. Where necessary, Rabbi Ascherman is willing to put his body on the line. To learn more about Torat Tzedek, please visit their Facebook page at facebook.com/ToratTzedek
