The global gambling industry is now worth more than five hundred billion dollars. From bingo to baccarat to betting online, gambling has become ubiquitous. But is it ethical? Is a Jew permitted to gamble? What do our sources have to say on this issue that is as old as humanity?
Every year, tens of thousands choose to become Jewish. Conversion goes back to our oldest texts. But who is eligible for conversion, and what is the process? What are the Jewish legal requirements for conversion, and why has this area become so controversial in contemporary Jewish life?
Physical enhancements to make us look better and function better are becoming more sophisticated every year. A huge enhancement industry continues to grow. But are all physical upgrades simply a matter of personal choice? Jewish law has some important insights.
One of the weightiest conversations on our national agenda surrounds the issue of reparations for past wrongs and injustices. When mistreatments occurred in previous generations, how does that obligate us today? The Jewish historic experience offers some useful approaches to consider.
Amazingly enough, autonomous vehicles will soon be part of our daily lives. But it turns out that autonomous vehicles do raise certain legal issues. Could Jewish law from millennia ago help us think about an invention as cutting-edge as autonomous vehicles? Why not?
