ScholarStream: "Removing the Stumbling Block: From Theory to Practice"

Wednesday, January 19, 2022 17 Shevat 5782

8:00 PM - 9:30 PMZoom

Learn with the Rabbinical Assembly.

Many of the most important Jewish leaders have been blind, and the Torah commands Israel not to place stumbling blocks to impede their progress. Yet Jews who are blind have often been excluded from full participation in Jewish ritual or been denied access to the riches of Torah available only in print. What pathways to Jewish leadership do halakhic sources offer to Jews who are blind? What paths remain blocked? Rabbi Lauren Tuchman, the first blind woman to be ordained as a rabbi, and Rabbi Daniel Nevins, who wrote a responsum on this subject, continue this important conversation.
