Modern medical technologies have the capacity to improve, transform and prolong life while simultaneously raising issues regarding the sanctity and dignity of life. Judaism has a lot to say about these difficult ethical issues. Together we will explore the benefits and challenges of these new technologies in the medical field, and the wisdom Judaism offers us in our encounters with them. Our sessions will merely skim the surface of these complex questions.
