Taught over the course of three semesters, the classes will explore questions related to disabilities and halakha, halakhic egalitarianism, and comprehensive queer inclusion.
These questions sit at the heart of ongoing halakhic issues that Modern Orthodoxy writ large grapples with. The path forward on these issues requires us to address the following questions: what is the process by which we can, with courage, honesty and integrity, create a halakhic community which is optimally inclusive? What does a robust conversation between halakha and modernity actually look like, specifically, what are the tools we need in order to properly evaluate the relevance, authority and applicability of classical texts? Finally, what’s our role in helping to move along the halakhic process so that it can indeed be more welcoming?
The first semester will be dedicated to an in-depth exploration of the halakhic process which enables us to include the cheresh (the person with speaking and hearing disabilities) as a full member of the halakhic community.
Classes will meet on Zoom every Wednesday from 8-9 pm, starting November 11.
