Judaism Decoded

Join us for a Fascinating Course Exploring the Origins and Evolution of Judaism as We Know It Today

The stuff they didn’t teach you in Cheder…

Judaism has evolved tremendously over the ages, would Moses even recognise us today?
So much of modern Jewish practice isn’t even written in the original book, Is Judaism as practised today just an invention of the Rabbis?

Real Questions…deserve real honest answers.

Judaism Decoded sheds light on the mysteries surrounding biblical interpretation.

Discover the sheer elegance of the “source code” on which Jewish law is built; and get a fascinating, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the most intellectually sophisticated religion in existence.

Join us for a 4 part course as we tackle some of the biggest questions in Judaism today.
All are welcome, no previous knowledge necessary.

When: 4 consecutive Tuesdays at 8pm.
Tues 14 January, Tues 21 January, Tues 28 January, Tues 4 February

Where: At Bushey Chabad, sign up for location details.

Jewish Ethics for modern World Part 3 - Autonomous Vehicles

More Equal than Others:
Ethics of Autonomous Vehicles

Ice cold is the mind that must design the artificial intelligence behind self-driving cars. How do we program these autonomous machines to react to ethical dilemmas on the road?

A car is fast approaching a tunnel entrance when its braking mechanism fails, a child has tripped and is lying across the tunnel. Should the car be designed to move forward and kill the innocent child or swerve into the tunnel wall and kill the innocent driver? Should the engineers program the car to choose based on age, health, or number of victims?

A delightful Talmudic foray into dangerous terrain.

Join us as we explore age old wisdom and contemporary Jewish sources on the ethical quandaries of the 21st century.

No previous knowledge necessary.

Although this course is part of a series it’s not connected to the others and your welcome to join for just this one.

Flesh of My Flesh:
Organ Transplants in Jewish Law

In spring 2020 the 'Max and Keira's Law' will go into affect and all adults in England will be considered to have agreed to be an organ donor when they die unless you specifically opted out.

What is the Jewish view on organ transplants?

Does Jewish law allow the donation of organs, either from a live donor or one who is deceased?
How do we define the moment of death?
Do we have the authority to give a body part away?
Might it go further, actively encouraging or even morally compelling one to donate?

A nuanced and compassionate look at the sensitive ethical issues governing organ donation.
