Thanks to all of those who came to (one/all of) Rabbi Sara Rich‘s Jewish Ethicist classes this semester! We had a ton of fun learning Jewish ethics through case studies covering topics ranging from kosher certification and online dating/identities to bar confrontations and taking moral stances. All of our (several!) attendees loved this education series and our group discussions on these topics. Dinner at Panera was provided for all attendees by the Princeton CJL.

We hope that you continue to enjoy our JGAP classes! Our next series will be during the Fall 2012 semester, so check back for updates regarding where, when, and what the series will be. As always, shoot us an email at jgap@princeton.edu if you have ideas for a future class or event.

Rabbi Sara Rich‘s Radical Torah class this semester was a total hit. The class description:

“Oh no he didn’t!! Oh yes, he did…You would not believe what some of Judaism’s most mainstream, most highly-revered scholars and rabbis have said about our sacred texts. Come learn and discuss ideas so shocking that you may never have guessed they come from traditional sources. Iconoclasts, rebels, and smart-mouths of all levels are welcome.”

Dessert was included as part of this JGAP learning series, and we hope to continue to include food in our future JGAP education series events. More information about our Spring 2012 JGAP class will be available shortly. If you have education series suggestions or ideas, shoot us an email at jgap@princeton.edu. Thanks for coming!
