The Pandemic and the Halakhah
The Freehof Institute responds to challenges posed by COVID-19
- We are a research center devoted to studying, teaching, and defining the progressive character of the halakhah in accordance with the principles of liberal Judaism.
- We seek to establish the ideological basis of progressive halakhah and its application to the ritual, social, political, and ethical issues of our time.
- We sponsor symposia and scholarly publications that facilitate a broad range of discussion, open new vistas, and enable readers to appreciate the dynamic nature of the Jewish legal tradition.
