This course prepares students to undertake the main roles and responsibilities of a Jewish clergy person in a wide-range of settings where bioethical questions arise. The fundamental principles, decision-making and counseling processes involved will be taught through application to real and realistic case situations. Primary Jewish sources will be studied, as well as both the classical responsa literature,and contemporary responses from across the full spectrum of Judaism. Our primary paradigm will be what the instructor terms Kavod Lev Halakkah,  meaning an engagement process that honors the heart of Jewish tradition as well as the heart of those affected.
