L2: Captivating Cases in Rabbinic Responsa

  • Chabad of SMA 7 Independencia San Miguel de Allende, Gto., 37730 Mexico (map)

6 Thursdays, 1:00-2:30 pm beginning February

Join this six-session course to discover the little-known world of rabbinic responsa, a vast archive of the real-life questions of ethics and practice Jews asked across history—and the scholarly answers rabbis wrote.

 (If you don’t know what a “rabbinic responsa” is, you’ll fit right in.) 

See what enables Jewish tradition n to offer relevant guidance in a rapidly changing world—and come face-to-face with raw Jewish history.
