In this day and age of self-expression what does Jewish law really say about tattoos? Does our faith take a stance on the question of life on other planets? Judaism concerns itself with animal cruelty issues — are there restrictions on hunting and fishing? Gambling may be off-limits in certain circles, but is it ok according to Jewish law?Join us for two incredible evenings that answer these questions and more, and put Judaism’s modern relevance on full, brilliant display!

Rabbi Avi Shlomo and Rabbi Sender Lustig are among the founding members of the Atlanta Dayanut Institute, where they are receiving highly specialized training to become qualified halachic experts and community adjudicators of Torah law.

The festivals are pauses in time, primed for personal introspection and spiritual re-connection; windows to the psyche, fortifying us with tools for facing everyday challenges. Kaleidoscopes of beauty and meaning, they change how we see ourselves, our relationships, and our world.

life in the Balance Jewish Perspectives on Everyday Medical Dilemmas

With Rabbi Ari SollishWhere do we draw the line between supporting life and prolonging death? How does one decide what to write in their living will or DNR directive? Thousands of transplant patients die each year due to the lack of available organs. Should we permit the sale of organs in the hope of saving them?

Human beings inevitably confront complex but important choices regarding their bodies, their lives, and their mortality. Our upcoming CME and CLE accredited course Life in the Balance will explore and offer a balanced view of some of the most relevant, contemporary, and common ethical issues confronting modern medicine and society.

Topics include: End-of-life decision making, non-vital organ transplantation, preventative medicine, sale of human organs, autopsy, and complications in pregnancy.
