Can Loopholes Be Religious?
November 9, 2023 @ 12:30 PM – 2:30 PM EST
The near-universal phenomenon of legal circumventions, finding licit ways to
achieve otherwise illegal outcomes, often generates cynicism that Jewish law
is more legalistic than it is values-laden.
Join **Elana Stein Hain** for an alternative view: a deep dive into the
theological, social, and legal logic and meaning behind the rabbinic
phenomenon of legal loopholes, based on her forthcoming book,
_Circumventing the Law: Rabbinic Perspectives on Loopholes and Legal
Integrity._
**Join us for Kosher lunch at 12:30 followed by Elana’s talk at 1:00 pm**
_Presented in partnership with the Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic Studies,
Hillel of Metro Detroit, Jewish Law Student Association of Wayne State
University Law School, and Jewish Bar Association of Michigan_
Organized by: Shalom Hartman Institute, Shalom Hartman InstituteDetroit,
HIllel of Metro Detroit, Jewish Bar Association of Michigan
