Polanski case an example of "dangerous tears in the social contract" -- Rabbi Kula

Government newsletter


Rabbi Irwin Kula

My friend and spiritual mentor Rabbi Irwin Kula is -- perhaps inadvertantly -- hosting a lively discussion about Roman Polanski on his Facebook page... one in which I have been privileged to participate.
