According to classical sources, when does atonement require repentance? When does it require suffering? Why? We will discuss two discourses by rabbis Joseph Ber Soloveitchik and by Yitzhak Hutner, exploring their common ground and where they differ. We'll ask questions about universalism versus particularism in the Jewish doctrine of repentance and gain insight for the contemporary theory of punishment.

Scotch whisky is kosher. So is much Irish and American whiskey. Yet it is often matured in wine or sherry casks. How can this be? This practical experiential session will involve an introduction to the manufacturing of Scotch whisky, the halakhic principles which allow us to enjoy its delights, and an opportunity to sample. Please bring a bottle!
