Emily Langowitz - Judaism and Reproductive Justice: Reframing the Jewish Conversation on Abortion

Rabbi Emily Langowitz, of Temple Solel, presents her lecture "Judaism and Reproductive Justice: Reframing the Jewish Conversation on Abortion from Torah to Today," before an audience at Temple Solel (www.templesolel.org/) in Paradise Valley, AZ. ABOUT THIS LECTURE: In this class we will explore the continuing dialogue within Judaism around issues of reproductive health, specifically focusing on abortion. We’ll take a look at the classic texts used as grounding for decision-making around this issue, and also expand our awareness to include modern feminist critique of traditional modes of discussing abortion. Finally, we will see how Reproductive Justice as a framework broadens our understanding both of the issue of abortion and of our own evolving Judaisms.
