Jewish Ethics: Do Torah and Morality Always Go Together?
The Foundry Church - Community Commons

Rabbinic texts are rich in the rabbis' ethical wrestlings with a range of topics from how to divide scarce resources, when it's permissible to defend oneself with force, and what to do if one ox gores another. Join us in this four-part lunch and learn series in which we will dive into the rabbis' ethical debates and shed light on our own.

The Hadar Institute is an educational institution that empowers Jews to create and sustain vibrant, practicing communities of Torah learning, prayer, and service.
