Jewish Ethics: Freeing Captives
On Saturday, October 7, Hamas terrorists, in addition to murdering over 1,200 Israelis, kidnapped over 160 hostages. While this hostage situation is unparalleled in its magnitude and brutality, this is sadly not the first time Jews have been forced to deal with the painful challenge of freeing captives. How far must we go to redeem captives? How far are we allowed to go? How do we balance the needs of the individual captives with the needs of the broader society? Explore with Rabbi Aaron the ways our ancient rabbis addressed these complicated questions.

Modern-Day Antisemitism
What are we talking about when we talk about antisemitism? Discussing this topic can feel fraught and overwhelming, opening up big questions related to Jewish identity, history, and discrimination in the past and the present. With Rabbi Nora, discuss definitions and manifestations of antisemitism and explore how responses, and lack of responses, to the attack on Israel and the ensuing war connect to antisemitism.
The Intersections of Israel and Judaism
More than 50% of the world’s Jews live outside of Israel, and 20% of Israeli citizens are not Jewish. Yet Israel and Judaism are deeply connected, in confusing and complicated ways. Together with Rabbi Aaron, explore Israel’s role in ancient Jewish history and in our 2000-year-long diasporic imagination and discuss why decoupling Israel and Judaism is so hard.
