SUMMARY:MakomDC:  The Necessity of Narrative in Halakhic Decision Making with Rabbi Aaron Alexander
DESCRIPTION:The Necessity of Narrative in Halakhic Decision Making \nShabbat afternoons Dec 6th\, Feb 14th\, March 28th \nIf a Jewish Legal (halakhic) decision is made in the forest with nobody present\, did it actually happen? Maybe. The reality is that written law–case-law (responsa) and codes–significantly depend on the very human stories that animates both the unique questions\, and idiosyncratic responses. In this series we’ll explore some critical halakhic decisions (responsa\, mostly) in which the stories behind the questions influenced the direction of the rabbinic decisor. (Texts provided in Hebrew & English\, all are welcome!)

SUMMARY:MakomDC: Mendelson Family Scholar Series-  Dr. Marjorie Lehman and Dr. Mira Wasserman
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Marjorie Lehman and Dr. Mira Wasserman \n“Stories of Slaves in Rabbinic Households: Daru\, Tavi\, and Rebi’s Slavewoman” \nShabbat\, December 13th 1 pm \nWe live with the legacy of a foundational story about our freedom from Egyptian slavery. It informs our rituals\, our liturgy\, and structures our past. And yet\, slaves were a regular part of life for the rabbis of the Talmud. We will meet the slaves and slavewomen that lived in rabbinic households and explore the ethical quandaries that confronted the rabbis and continue to confront us today. \nDr. Marjorie Lehman is professor of Talmud and Rabbinics at The Jewish Theological Seminary and the Area Coordinator of Rabbinic Literatures and Cultures. She teaches a wide range of courses in Rabbinics\, including courses on gender in Talmudic literature\, aggadah\, halakhah\, the history of the Jewish book\, and pedagogy. Her scholarly journey reflects a commitment to balancing the historical and intellectual aspects of Jewish texts while also focusing on the ways they speak to and help us to understand our place in the contemporary moment.
