Life and Death—It’s in the Courts, the Legislatures and the Talmud: A Jewish View of Abortion and Reproductive Rights

Rabbi Lewis Kamrass

With the many legal challenges being considered across the United States on the subject, and the upcoming ballot initiative in Ohio, the timing is especially compelling for a long-planned session with Rabbi Lewis Kamrass, who will review Jewish ideas of when life begins, how our tradition has looked at abortion, and the ways in which Jewish tradition might inform and shape our own values in today’s changing landscape.
