Our cultural discourse is often stuck in binary thinking, zero sum games, and mutually exclusive positions. What can loopholes in Rabbinic law and workarounds in American law teach us about holding multiple values and flexible thinking, at a time when the opposite is so in vogue?
Join Elana Stein Hain for a conversation with Jonathan Gould, Assistant Professor, U. C. Berkeley Law, and Ethan Tucker, President and Rosh Yeshiva, Hadar Institute, at this book launch and celebration of Elana’s new book, Circumventing the Law: Rabbinic Perspectives on Loopholes and Legal Integrity.

6:40 PM | Doors Open
7:00 – 8:15 PM | Program

Program will be followed by a dessert reception. Elana’s book will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

A Shalom Hartman Institute Salon@475 event presented in partnership with Harvard Hillel and the Hadar Institute.
