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.

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
