This spring, Chabad of Fountain Hills will teach a groundbreaking course in medical ethics on four Monday evenings starting May 20, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Chabad Edelman Jewish Center.
This new course, titled “Decisions of Fate,” will explore some of the most fascinating and relevant dilemmas in medical ethics through the lens of contemporary Jewish law, a press release said.
The course instructor in Fountain Hills is Rabbi Mendy Lipskier who says, “Finding trustworthy guidance is important when navigating tough medical decisions. ‘Decisions of Fate’ offers an opportunity to proactively engage with these questions, providing the confidence and clarity needed to address important life decisions if and when they arise.”
This four-week course invites the community to engage in a thoughtful study of medical ethics according to Jewish wisdom.
From experimental treatments to the prospect of extending life, participants will gain an enriching perspective on how Judaism sheds light on these crucial questions.
The Fountain Hills Jewish community will join tens of thousands around the world in hundreds of Jewish communities learning “Decisions of Fate.”
This course was developed by the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI), the adult education branch of Chabad-Lubavitch.
JLI offers programs in more than 800 locations in the U.S. and numerous international countries including Argentina, Australia, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, Panama, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Uruguay and Venezuela.
More than 400,000 students have attended JLI classes since the organization was founded in 1998.
