RELIGION & LAW
1 PM, NOV. 9 (THURS.)
The near-universal
phenomenon of legal

ways to achieve otherwise

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. At Hillel of Metro
Detroit, 5221 Guillen
Hall, Student Center
#667, WSU Campus
