Chabad JLI Course begins – Captivating Cases in Rabbinic Responsa

January 26, 2026 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Chabad of Greater Dayton
2001 Far Hills Avenue
Oakwood, OH 45419

Begins Monday, January 12 from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Runs for six-weeks, both in-person and virtual.

Listen in on the surprising, practical questions your ancestors’ asked rabbis across Jewish history. Join this course to discover the little-known world of rabbinic responsa, a vast archive of the real-life questions of ethics and practice Jews asked across history – and the scholarly answers rabbis wrote.

Algiers is under siege. May I pray in a bathhouse?
The Inquisition is watching. How will I celebrate Passover?
Seventeen Jews are held hostage in faraway Regensburg after a blood libel. Must I help pay their ransom?

See what enables Jewish tradition to offer relevant guidance in a rapidly changing world – and come face-to-face with raw Jewish history. (If you don’t know what a “rabbinic responsa” is, you’ll fit right in.)

This course will satisfy the continuing education (CLE) requirements of lawyers and other legal professionals.

$72/person; textbook included. Click here to RSVP.
