Jews, Judaism, and Abortion
2022-06-23 19:30 - 21:00 (America/Chicago)
Why is the majority Jewish community’s position on abortion different from that of other faith communities? Is this Jewish community’s view on abortion consistent with its approach to other issues?
With the imminent Supreme Court Decision, Beth Emet is hosting a timely conversation about Jews, Judaism, and abortion with Roger Price, congregant, and author of When Judaism Meets Science and Dr. Elisheva Shanes who is on the faculty of the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. Moderated by Rabbi Andrea London.
