In conjunction with the “La’asok:  Sacred Texts, Modern Meaning” online learning platform.

What does Judaism really say about bodily autonomy and reproductive rights? Guided by a Rabbi/ lawyer Cookie Lea Olshein, we’ll trace the conversation from Torah to today, unpacking both sacred texts and recent U.S. case law. Expect honest, nuanced discussion and the chance to wrestle with how Jewish values could apply in today's legal landscape.
