Join us for our Tuesday night classes led by Gideon Amir, where we delve into the interpretations and nuances of Jewish ritual.
October brings a deep dive into the significance of circumcision in Jewish tradition. While the command to circumcise every born son on the 8th day of his life was directly given to Abraham as a sign of the covenant between God and the Children of Abraham, interpretations of its practice vary throughout history. In modern times, there is a growing debate within non-Orthodox Jewish communities about the ethics of circumcision, questioning whether it is a meaningful tradition or a form of unnecessary harm to a child.
Come join the conversation to explore these central texts and ethical questions.
