SUMMARY:CLE: Be Fruitful & Multiply? The Jewish Legal Approach to Procreation
DESCRIPTION:As birth rates decline across the Western world\, governments are responding with a patchwork of policy incentives. \nFrom parental leave and childcare subsidies to tax breaks and fertility support. But what role should the law play in encouraging procreation and how might Jewish tradition inform these choices? Join Rabbi Schiff in examining the ethical and legal dimensions of pro-natalist legislation through the lens of Jewish law. \nExplore questions such as: \n\nHow does Judaism view societal responsibility for childbearing?\nAre there limits to government intervention in private reproductive decisions?\nWhat insights might Jewish tradition offer in shaping humane\, just policies?
