Text Study with Rabbi Rose

Many in our country are talking about abortion and the future of Roe v. Wade these days, and when religion is part of that conversation, it’s usually from the perspective of the Christian right.  But Jewish tradition actually brings an entirely different voice to the conversation, through a nuanced religious lens that values not only the potential life of the fetus, but also the life of the pregnant person, physical and mental health, and humility in the face of difficult choices.  Join Rabbi Rose for a text-based class exploring Jewish perspectives on abortion, when abortion is permitted (or even required) by Jewish law, and how we might think about this issue through the lens of Jewish tradition as opposed to other religious traditions.
