You Be the Judge II Lesson One: Inheriting the Fruits of Sin

The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute will be launching it’s latest course, You Be the Judge II in Crown Heights, The course presents students with real cases brought before the court system of Jewish law, and compares Talmudic analysis with the contemporary approach taken in U.S. courts. Topics include business ethics, property rights, and employment practices, and each lesson provides an opportunity to question, discuss, and argue, based on principle and precedent.

The course is accredited for Continuing Legal Education by twenty-five State Bar Associations and still pending, but expected to be approved by the New York Bar.

JLI produced an introductory video to each of the six lessons in the series. The dramatic, documentary-like overviews feature real-life cases that characterize the subject of the following week’s lesson.

The course will be taught by Rabbis Mendel Kalmenson, Levke Kaplan as well as Mrs. Shimona Tzukernick.

Mrs. Tzukernick will be giving her class (women only) at 1349 President St. Classes will be given on Wednesday nights starting February 18, 2009. Day classes may be available. For more info call 718 778 2540 or email info@shimona.org
