Surviving Halakhah (Jewish Law): A Look at Rabbinic Innovations

Date: Tuesday, February 4, 2025
Time: 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Online OnlyOnline Only

Join us online for Tuesday night classes with Gideon Amir!

This month we will focus on how rabbis throughout history have “adapted” Halakhah, Jewish law, into the “real” world, to allow for a sustainable and feasible lifestyle.

We will explore many examples including the use of electricity and working on Shabbat (e.g. Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin’s telephone, Senator Joe Lieberman’s travel to the Capitol and Shabbat elevators), and the carrying of objects on Shabbat (e.g. an eruv, the allowance to carry within a closed area). And more, as time allows.

Haberman Institute courses are offered on a sliding payment scale.
Both tiers receive identical access to the program. Should the registration rates become a barrier to enrollment, please contact our Executive Director, Matthew Silverman.

Cost: $80-$120
