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.  

Lesson 4

When the exception is the law

Explore unexpected rulings that reveal the hidden fallback mechanisms built into Jewish law. These cases show how the law itself protects deeper values like human dignity and family harmony.

Cases PAVIA, 1450; SALONIKA, 1550; KRAKOW, 1570; LIOZNA, 1790
