Breaking a Leg for God: How Much Must One Sacrifice While Performing Ordinary Mitzvot?
July 1, 2008. General Shiurim
Shmuel Kadosh.
To what extent does the halakhah demand that a Jew incur serious harm (short of death) in order to keep its dictates? On August 22, 1963, Ruth Friedman and Jack Katz, two counselors on their day off from camp, went on a hike at the Belleayre Mt. Ski Center in the Catskills. They took the ski lift to the top of the mountain, and hiked there most of the day. On their way back down, the ski lift stopped, leaving Jack and Ruth stranded on the ski lift. Concerned about violating the Jewish law prohibition against the seclusion of men and women (Yichud), Ruth jumped off the ski lift, breaking both her legs. (See Friedman v. State, 282 N.Y.S.2d 858 (N.Y. Ct. Cl. 1967)) In this class, we will examine Ruth's decision to jump, both from the perspective of normative Jewish law and in a broader discussion about the tension between Divine Will and human need.

Bittulah Zehu Kiyumah: How the Neglect of Torah Can Lead to its Deepest Fulfillment
June 2, 2008. General Shiurim
Rabbi Ethan Tucker. Torah and everyday life are often assumed to be locked in constant tension. Rabbinic texts speak of the interruption of learning to appreciate the broader world as a capital crime. We will explore an essay by R. Yitzhak Hutner, one of the 20th century's richest rabbinic thinkers, as he envisions what it means to embody Talmud Torah so thoroughly such that one's entire life is a unified unfolding process of learning.
Is the Value of Human Life Paramount?
June 17, 2008. General Shiurim
Rabbi Ethan Tucker. It is commonly assumed that value of human life trumps all other concerns in Jewish life. After a brief introduction, we will explore a sugya from the 8th chapter of Yoma that suggests a more subtle picture. Working in the original, we will look carefully at the different layers of the Talmudic sugya in an effort to uncover the range of warring values at work in this ancient conversation, a conversation that remains relevant until today.

"And Moses Did Exactly as the Lord Commanded Him?"
July 8, 2008. General Shiurim
Steven Exler
The Bible, as a document which exposes Moses' conversations with God and with Israel, often leaves glaring incongruities -- times where Moses says things of which we have no record of his being commanded, and times where we have no record of his delivering God's word to Israel. How do we make sense of these gaps? Are they random? Specific? What are they trying to teach us about communication and the Torah?
