A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Tsvi Blanchard, Ph.D

The event was co-sponsored by Congregation Or Tzion

About The Event: 

Why is Jewish Law important and relevant for us today? Written and oral Torah has been an ongoing adaptive legal system for over 3500 years. Its central institutions have been Justice and Loving Kindness, the Sabbath, and the Temple system. This talk will explore the ideals that have guided and still guide Jewish law in its search to fulfill the Divine will.
