SUMMARY:Captivating Cases in Rabbinic Responsa 
DESCRIPTION:Captivating Cases in Rabbinic Responsa is a fascinating series exploring the questions our ancestors asked sages across the ages. \n3 things we’ll learn in the course: \n1. How our ancestors lived\nWe’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! \n2. How Jewish law works\nIt 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. \n3. The future of Judaism\nIn 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. \nUncover your history. Understand your heritage. Join us for an enlightening and intriguing course. \nInstructor: Rabbi Laizer Labkovski \nHot dinner served\nNo charge\, all are welcome! \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:Purim
DESCRIPTION:The spirited festival of Purim is celebrated every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar (late winter/early spring). It commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman’s plot “to destroy\, kill and annihilate all the Jews\, young and old\, infants and women\, in a single day\,” as recorded in the Megillah (Book of Esther).  Purim begins during the previous evening.
