This panel, with representation from across the denominational spectrum, will discuss what halachah (Jewish law) means for the 21st-century Jew. How should we best understand halachah? What do we do when we disagree with halachah's assumptions? When halachah is often typecast as a rulebook or a meaningless set of edicts, can we offer a different approach?
