How does Jewish law approach public health in an age shaped by pandemics, medical innovation and urgent questions about collective responsibility?
From the ethics of vaccination to broader communal interventions, Jewish texts offer a deep and compelling framework for navigating today’s medical challenges. Led by Rabbi Schiff, take a journey into the heart of Jewish legal tradition to tackle the high-stakes questions that define our public health conversations today.
Underwritten by the Alan Papernick Educational Institute Endowment Fund.
