Join us for two concurrent sessions that will shed light on current ethical issues from a traditional Jewish perspective.

KOSHER LUNCH WILL BE SERVED

CHILDCARE WILL BE PROVIDED

11:00am
Is it Kosher to be a Whistleblower?
Rabbi Joey Felsen
       The Torah prohibits defamation, but there are circumstances in which one must speak out for the   sake of a greater good. When would it be permissible to inform on a colleague or an employer?

The Cost of Medicine and Medical Care
Rabbi Avromi Apt
       What would be the ideal system according to the Torah? What can a doctor/pharmaceutical company charge according to Halacha?

12:00pm Lunch with an Interactive and Experiential Workshop by Rabbi Josh Marder

1:00pm
Cosmetic Surgery
Rabbi Avi Lebowitz
       When is the risk of elective surgery worthwhile? Is one permitted to take risks that facilitate aesthetic changes? Are there differences between tummy tucks and cleft pallets? Between chin lifts and skin grafts for burn victims?

Absolute Morality versus Relative Morality: A Discussion of Ethical Absolutism
Rabbi Avi Stewart
      What makes murder and theft wrong and unethical? Do ethics exist outside of a religious or divine framework? Are ethics flexible?  What does the Torah say concerning what makes ethics ethical, mores moral, and right and wrong?

COST
