Self Defense, War & Casualties: A Halachic (Jewish Law) Perspective
Rabbi Gershon Segal
Wed Jan 15, 05:30-07:00pm, W-11 Board Room
Single session event
Preemptive strikes, collateral damage and hostage predicaments are but a few examples of circumstances that give rise to the vexing moral dilemmas that face the free world in today's age of terrorism. This class will draw on the teachings of the Mishnah, Talmud, Maimonodies and other traditional Rabbinic sources. We will discuss the principles used in Jewish law to navigate through these difficult ethical issues.
