The next Rohr Jewish Learning Institute series applies Talmudic reasoning to mind-twisting modern problems.
“The Dilemma: Modern Dilemmas, Talmudic Debates, Your Solutions” will be offered in Birmingham, Mobile and the New Orleans areas.
The course description asks, “What do you do when your gut tells you one thing, and your brain tells you another? Prepare for a mental expedition to mind-wrestle with situations that force us to choose between two reasonable truths.”
