Session 1 – February 16: What is Halakha!?

Each week you’ll find the reading listed, along with an abbreviated version and/or shorter section of the essay to look through. You’re welcome to read only the selection, the entire article, or anything in between.

Readings for this session:

• “Intro to Halakha” – Aryeh Klapper (this article offers an introduction to a halakhic vocabulary)
• “Toward a Liberal Theory of Halakha” – Tikva Frymer-Kensky
