Join a group of thoughtful Jews like yourself for this captivating course.
This is a fascinating six-session exploration of the questions our ancestors asked sages across the ages.
Here are three things we’ll learn in this course:
1. How our ancestors lived
We’ll explore thirty real-life cases and get vivid windows into the lives of Jewish individuals and communities across history—from Spain in the fourteenth century, to nineteenth-century Russia, and 1950s Brooklyn. What did they worry about? What problems did they face? Join to find out!
2. How Jewish law works
It shapes everything from the synagogue service to who wins a dispute—but Jewish law is shrouded in mystery. How does an ancient law apply to new realities? How do the rules get made? We’ll unpack the steps that the sages followed to adjudicate disputes and answer tricky questions.
3. The future of Judaism
In our final lesson, we’ll see how Jewish law is already grappling with the questions raised by travel to Mars, artificial intelligence, lab-grown meat, and more.
