Zachary Bodner: grew up outside of New York City until he was 9, and after a year and a half in Australia he moved to Budapest, Hungary where he attended a local high school. He is currently a senior at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in cognitive sciences, and got to know Chabad through a fortuitous Shabbat dinner when he was a sophomore.
Zach’s Paper "Practical Implications of Imprecise Perceptions: The ethicality of not knowing everything" investigates the ethical implications of the unobtainable nature of objective reality and proposes possible interpretations toward a resolution of this dilemma.
This presentation was delivered at the Sinai Scholars Academic Symposium 2010.
The Sinai Scholars Symposium is a yearly conference for university students, hosted by the Sinai Scholars Society. Students from around the world gather with an esteemed panel of Ivy League professors, world-class Torah scholars and experts in their field to study, discuss and present their thoughts on various subjects that deal with Judaism and the modern world. Each student prepares an academic paper which they present to their colleagues and a panel of judges.
