“There’s a divinity that shapes our ends”: Hamlet and Torah Tradition — With Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman

In this episode, Yeshiva University President Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman draws from his experiences as an educator, father, and academic leader to discuss the themes and human experiences central to Shakespeare’s Hamlet that complement and contrast similar stories from Torah tradition.
