Captivating Cases in Rabbinic Responsa, offers a unique opportunity to explore these fascinating questions.
This course delves into thirty real-life cases that have crossed the desks of rabbis throughout history, from 1300 to 1732 and beyond.
Jewish life has always been shaped by real questions asked in real moments, when the stakes are high and doing the right thing matters. Rabbinic Responsa is the hidden inbox of Jewish history, where real Jews sought guidance from great rabbis across the centuries.
In this course, you'll gain:
Clarity: Discover how Torah thinking navigates complex situations, clarifying facts, weighing precedents, and balancing competing values to find a clear, livable path.
Connection: Meet the Jews behind the questions and feel the drama of Jewish history as lived moments of courage, struggle, creativity, and faith.
Grounding: Gain resilience and perspective by watching generations of Jews face change and pressure, refusing to let circumstances define them.
From heartbreaking dilemmas of life and death to simple questions about weddings, these cases are as diverse as they are engaging. You'll see how Jewish law works behind the scenes.
If you love great stories, smart thinking, and Judaism that feels alive and relevant, this course is for you. No previous Jewish learning is required to enjoy this journey.
Morning and evening sessions available both in-person and on Zoom.
