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!

He usually drives her to school lectures\, where she tells students how she saved her baby boy and herself with the help of a thin gold ring. When the mother’s health deteriorates\, he travels to her old hometown\, Budapest\, to search for the mythological ring that saved her life in the past. He turns to his estranged daughter\, a TV researcher\, for help and offers to go on this journey together. Will the search for the ring be successful? Will the ring save the mother’s life again\, and will the same ring that saved his mother also succeed in saving Arnon’s relationship with his own daughter?\n\nThe Opening Celebration is sponsored by Equitable Advisors\n
