The Ethical Life - Jewish Values in an Age of Choice

A course in Jewish Ethics from JTS
Led by Rabbi Michael Singer

From political and financial scandals to rapid progress in biomedical science and technology, the complex issues
of modern society are, at their core, issues of ethical and moral concern. Now, more than ever, we require a solid
understanding of how Jewish ethics can inform our discussions and decisions about the critical questions of the day.
Each session of The Ethical Life includes a short video lecture featuring JTS faculty members and other expert
scholars, text study, and guided group discussion led by Rabbi Singer. Join us for this unique opportunity to
study the sources of Jewish ethics in their original and learn how we can apply them today.

Course Topics
The course explores critical topics of contemporary relevance, including:
. Does Ethics Need God?
. The Ethical Dimensions of Food Production
. Is Teshuvah Possible? Rethinking Mass Incarceration
. Advance Directives and the Ethics of End-of-Life Care
. Disabilities and the Ethics of Inclusion
