The Stanton Street Shul is a historic, intimate, and vibrant Orthodox congregation serving the diverse Jewish population in Lower Manhattan.

In this highly relevant edition of Current Jewish Questions, Rabbi Josh Yuter explores the complete range of Tzniut / Modesty as defined in the Talmid, and its holistic implications for Jewish living.
In light of the recent religious violence in Israel, Rabbi Yuter begins his new Current Jewish Questions series with a discussion of religious coercion in Jewish law.

Every generation of Jews must confront the challenges of their era and ours is no exception. New situations demand new analysis, but these debates often serve to confuse more than clarify.
In this exciting and relevant new series, Rabbi Yuter will discuss and analyze the religious sources underlying the Jewish issues of today. Each week will cover a different topic in response to the current events in the Jewish world.
Current Jewish Questions will meet Sundays at 9:00am and is open to men and women of all backgrounds. To request a topic for discussion, please email Rabbi Yuter at rabbi@stantonstshul.com
