Medical Ethics - R' Yitzchak Breitowitz (Sp '22)

As Torah-Jews living in a non-Jewish society, it is extraordinarily important for us to have the correct Torah perspective on issues that arise. In this course, Rav Breitowitz will present the Torah ethics on medical topics, while showing how the vast Torah sources and halachic discussions address all topics with which Jews are confronted. This class will discuss medical ethics according to the Torah, and, at the same time, it will demonstrate and show that our Torah provides Divine wisdom on all practical - and current - situations.
