wo wrongs don’t make
a right” is an oft-quoted
statement, typically told
to children who are busy taking
revenge on one another … But,
is that entirely true?
A dilemma (Greek for “double
proposition”) is a problem offer-
ing two solutions or possibilities,
each of which is problematic
(hence there are “two wrongs”),
and one must choose which of
the options is best to follow (or,
which of the “wrongs” is right).
In an upcoming four-part
series, Rabbi Shneur Silberberg
of Bais Chabad Torah Center
in West Bloomfield will take
on four very important areas of
medical ethics, each of which
presents unique dilemmas, and
we will look to discover the
Torah’s guidance in resolving
each of these quandaries.
The topics are extending life,
pregnancy questions, a body’s
dignity and experimental treat-
ments. The classes are CME and
CEU accredited.
The course begins the week
of May 19, and will be offered
on Sundays at 11 a.m. and
Tuesdays at 7 p.m., in person at
Bais Chabad and on Zoom. Each
class will run for 90 minutes.
The cost to attend the course
is $50, and the cost of a textbook
is $30 ($80 total). Scholarships
are available, thanks to the Mara
Israel Jewish Education Fund
Attendees may try the first
class, at no charge, and then
decide on continuing.

Medical Ethics
Through a
Jewish Lens
JN STAFF
Medical Ethics
Lesson 1, Experimental Treatments: When emerging
treatments offer hope of recovery, when is the risk justified?
Discover the Jewish ethics of risking your life in the hope of
extending your long-term prospects.
Lesson 2, Extending Life: How does Judaism balance the
desire to preserve life with concerns of reducing suffering?
See how Jewish values inform a dignified approach to end-
of-life care and advance medical directives.
Lesson 3, Pregnancy Questions: Explore questions of
pregnancy through the lens of Jewish texts. Is a fetus a
human life or a part of the mother’s body? When pregnancy
endangers a woman’s life, may she, in good conscience,
carry the pregnancy to term?
Lesson 4, A Body’s Dignity: Might autopsy violate the
dignity of the human body? Learn the Jewish view on the
respect to which the deceased is entitled and how the
sanctity of human life continues after death.
