You Be The Judge!
Course Description :
In this course, every session will explore several cases from the perspective of a Bet Din, a Jewish court. We will take a short case with a legal question, discuss opinions and then look at how Jewish sources would decide on that case. No previous knowledge of Jewish law, Jewish process, or legal systems is required. All the cases will be simply stated and the Jewish sources discussed as needed.
