Risk-Taking: How Much Danger Does Jewish Law Permit?

THURSDAYS on Zoom, 8:30-10:45 AM, Sep. 21 – June 29, 2024. Cost with credit: $195 series/$35 each individual class Cost without credit: $165 series/$30 each individual class Earn 2 ethics credits per class! Open to all—you need not be a lawyer to attend. People regularly engage in extraordinarily risky activities. Is this Jewishly allowed? Given that everything we do contains some danger, how would we know when the risk is too great? Can a Jew go bungee jumping? In this CLE, we will consider the limits of risk-taking from the perspective of Jewish law.
