(4) Dr. Elana Stein Hain: Jewish Law, Loopholes, and Legal Integrity
Manage episode 435753009 series 3587087
Elana Stein Hain and I talk about why finding legal loopholes in Jewish law isn’t cheating the system but rather completely in line with what Jewish law is designed for. She is Rosh Beit Midrash and Senior Research fellow at the Shalom Hartman institute of North America and author of a book on halachic loopholes entitled Circumventing the Law: Rabbinic Perspectives on Loopholes and Legal Integrity.
Passionate about bringing Rabbinic thought into the conversation with contemporary life, Elana hosts the TEXTing podcast where she brings to light issues relevant to Jewish life through classical and modern textual sources. She's also a regular contributor to the For Heaven’s Sake podcast, which recently became the most listened to Jewish podcast internationally.
