Evolution of Halacha: A Case Study in Disability

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Feedback form is now closed.
The Torah tells us that a Kohen with a disability is disqualified from serving in the Temple. The mishna tells us that a deaf person cannot give testimony. However, today we strive to include all individuals in our services and communities. How has this evolution happened?  This session will appeal to those interested in the development of Halacha and Judaism's changing perspectives on disability.
