Ariel Burger
Teacher, Writer and Philosopher
Ariel Burger weaves his spirituality, story-telling, pedagogical insights and artistic capacities to develop strategies for social change. Beautifully written in his own words, Ariel’s mission “... is to help counter superficiality with nuance, to replace estrangement with encounter, and to empower people to be creative and kind citizens of the world.” He is also the founding director of the Witness Institute, a space, body of work and community deeply inspired by the legacy of Ariel’s teacher Elie Wiesel. We highly recommend reading Ariel's 2018 book ‘Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel’s Classroom’
