About this Event
*** Register on this page (Eventbrite) if you're planning to attend in person -- ***
Come learn in Chicago with Halachic Left! Kosher lunch will be served.
Speakers include:
- Rabbi Will Friedman: "TBD"
- Dr. Rachel Havrelock: "The Joshua State: National Religion in Contemporary Israel"
Come to our fifth event in Jewish Reckoning with Power: A Halachic Left Learning Series. Each event will be livestreamed/recorded in order to allow everyone to watch speakers in other cities. (You can watch recordings of previous events on Halachic Left's YouTube channel.)
About the series:
Much of our recent Torah, writing, and teaching has engaged directly with the urgent realities of Israel/Palestine. In this program, we are intentionally stepping back, toward a broader and more abstract question that underlies so many of those conversations: How does Jewish tradition understand, justify, resist, and reckon with power?
Each day of learning will feature shiurim from multiple teachers exploring different dimensions of Jewish engagement with power: textual, halachic, historical, and ethical. While the sessions will not all address the same sources or case studies, together they aim to open a shared conversation and provide conceptual tools that can deepen our Torah learning and inform contemporary Jewish moral and political thinking.
Lunch will be served -- please RSVP so we can estimate how much to order!
*** We believe in learning Torah from all. Speaking does not imply agreement with Halachic Left's political positions. Institutional affiliations are for identification purposes only.
