Four-part series starts May 19.

"Two wrongs don’t make a right” is an oft-quoted statement, typically told to children who are busy taking revenge on one another … But, is that entirely true?

A dilemma (Greek for “double proposition”) is a problem offering two solutions or possibilities, each of which is problematic (hence there are “two wrongs”), and one must choose which of the options is best to follow (or, which of the “wrongs” is right).

In an upcoming four-part series, Rabbi Shneur Silberberg of Bais Chabad Torah Center in West Bloomfield will take on four very important areas of medical ethics, each of which presents unique dilemmas, and we will look to discover the Torah’s guidance in resolving each of these quandaries.

The topics are extending life, pregnancy questions, a body’s dignity and experimental treatments. The classes are CME and CEU accredited. 

The course begins the week of May 19, and will be offered on Sundays at 11 a.m. and Tuesdays at 7 p.m., in person at Bais Chabad and on Zoom. Each class will run for 90 minutes.

The cost to attend the course is $50, and the cost of a textbook is $30 ($80 total). Scholarships are available, thanks to the Mara Israel Jewish Education Fund 

Attendees may try the first class, at no charge, and then decide on continuing.
