Stanton St. Shul Beit Midrash: Gambling in Jewish Law

The popular Channukah game of draydel can be viewed as a distinctly Jewish game of chance.

In our third Beit Midrash session of the year, we will explore the laws and attitudes with which Judaism addresses gambling in all its forms.

Classes are open to men and women of all backgrounds.
